Zigzag Terrain - Fairlie - New Zealand

D C Nobes

The parallel sinuous stream meanders retain water well into the hot dry summer, so the zigzag stream patterns stay bright green in contrast to the hill slopes which are already turning golden in colour in early summer.

D. C. Nobes is a physicist, poet, and photographer who, aside from 2 years on Vancouver Island, spent his first 39 years in or near Toronto, Canada, then 23 years based in Christchurch, New Zealand, 4 years in China, and has since retired to Bali. He used to enjoy winter but admits that he doesn’t miss the snow or the cold. He thinks almost all poetry is meant to be read aloud. His poetry and art photographs have been widely published.
