About “Nothing else gives me quite so much satisfaction. ... These are people I have walked with, held hands with, prayed with. This is home for me. My shoes and my footprints are home.”

Nancy Wilson


Well, technically I am NOT home, being that I'm here in NZ, a long way from NY... but with these people here that I've loved, walked with, learned about ourselves and God with, had fun with, and prayed with, I feel just like I'm home, and I love it!! But don't worry, I will still be coming back to New York eventually!

This is at Mount Maunganui beach, by the way and 2 of my loves in the distance! :)

Oh, and I have an uncolored version... not sure which one I liked better, I will post it on here though, please let me know which you like better! :)

Hello Rachel! Love the perspective on this, nice work.

Great to hear your experience was a good one. It really is an amazing place. I'm always blown away by the dramatic scenery here. Like you, NZ isn't my home either but I've been living here for 7 years. I still miss it when I have to go away for periods of time though. Where else can you get a crazy mix of surf, mountains and cow country all in one shot? :)

Cheers and thanks for your comment!

The curves of the water and the line of footprints;the low angle;the silhouettes of the figs in the distance;the texture of the sand ; the use of perspective distortion in accentuating the print in the fg; all come together in creating this beautiful and moody composition.The pic could have benefited from a frame imo.Good work Rachel.

Great work Rachel! It`s a pleasure to view. Maybe it fits better in "maximum depth of field", but thats my opinion. Anyway, very well done! Congrats and many greetings, Ralf
