This is a multi-row panoramic drone shot over the braided Rakaia River in Canterbury, NZ with the centre being a complete inversion of the cropped outer. These glacial rivers come from the NZ Alps and carry alluvial deposits that give the bright hues. It was taken in August 2024 (the end of Winter in NZ). I took it to invite consideration of the greatness of our beautiful world and our lives, and to maybe view these with a different perspective.
