Trees have a special magic about them, especially if they stand out in the landscape like they often do in New Zealand. This is the Northern Island.

My attention went first to the tree, being in the center and so large, but then to the lake and mountains in the backround; beautiful scene and great composition!!!
There is no poetry like a tree, so it's said. Your landscape looks oddly reminiscent of Northern California in the springtime when it's still green. Must be a nice place.
Lovely, I thought this was a shot near Holsten Lake in East Tennessee; I was only about 4000 miles off?
Again, I love the subject it looks as titled (magical).
Thanks for all your comments, Anne. This is simply stunning and I have been meaning to add my words to the many comments it has so far attracted. A memorable landscape.
