Info All by me. It's a small stream that runs over a hiking track in shady native beech forest. The orange thing on the tree in the back is a trail mark, a symbol of tramping in New Zealand. The trail basically runs over the stream, you have to hop over the boulders. I quite enjoy the shady and moist atmosphere. Quite a few native species can be seen including ferns, beech, horoeka and a lot of moss. -- Podzemnik (talk) 09:56, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

- Support A subtly beautiful place. Cmao20 (talk) 13:24, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Neutral Water & Stones are very nice, but yellow triangle & brownish fern & scattered branches in the background are a turn off for me --Axel (talk) 13:55, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- There is a lot of brownish stuff because it's in the middle of the winter. Also, it's a native bush which makes the view a bit raw. I was thinking about removing the orange triangle but I quite like it - it's so typical for NZ bush that I just keep it on my pictures - but I understand that it might look distracting for others.

- Support It doesn't look like wintertime, though ... is this some sort of evergreen forest? Daniel Case (talk) 01:55, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case The rule of thumb is that what is not evergreen, is not native to NZ. This is a native forest, it's never been cut down before. In the winter, everything is wet and muddy and kind of dark green, in the summer it's a bit more green and many shrubs are flowering (but some shrubs and trees are flowering in the winter too...). But it's green all year around. When I first came here, I was quite amazed by hiking in the snowy bush where everything was green but covered in snow. Quite unusual sight for a European. You should come to check it out. --Podzemnik (talk) 02:20, 17 September 2019 (UTC) PS: The picture was taken at about 800m above the sea level. This one is just a couple of days before from 1600m. --Podzemnik (talk) 02:23, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Oppose A bit cluttered and lacks of wow factor, the technical execution was on the other hand precise Poco2 20:04, 17 September 2019 (UTC)- Oppose Per Poco. - Benh (talk) 21:22, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
