Queenstown, a general landscape view from the apartment at Fernhill.
This was an end-of-the day shot, when the colours were more prominent than in the heat-of-the-day. Queenstown-proper is not quite visible in this ‘towards Queenstown from Fernhill’ view. The wooded lake-shores are clearly visible, which were not thus in the very early days of this part of NZ - according to local history texts.
