Dave's fishing trip

Last week Dave drove up to Alexandra, about three hours northwest of Dunedin, and stayed there for three nights. Each day he drove somewhere to fish. The first day he came across the most common traffic jam in New Zealand (at least on the South Island).

The sheep started up that path on the right (in the photo below), and that's not where the farmer wanted them to go, so Dave got to watch the sheep dog go up the path and try to get them to come back down.

A little further on, he found this cute view of sheep huddling in the shelter of a rock (below). When I saw the picture, I thought they were trying to get out of the sun, but Dave said it was really windy, and they were sheltering behind the rock to get out of the wind.

Dave fished at the Manorburn Resevoir, created by a dam, and at the Nevis River. The rest of the photos show the places where he fished and the beautiful textures of the hills he saw.
