While in NZ last year I was struck by how a tagline for NZ is "The Land
of the Long White Cloud", yet I could not find in any tourist spot or museum a really good, poster size lenticular image. One lady at the Auckland museum said, "It's a myth!", whereupon I corrected her with the explanation of what it is and how it supposedly helped the Maori people to find land (and I'm from California). The best I could do was to walk into the Met building in Wellington and buy one of their 2005 calendars. Now this is not meant to be disrepectful to our Kiwi friends, I really enjoyed my time there. But it got me thinking of where I could find a really spectacular lenitcular image suitable for framing. Recently I was in Bishop, CA and in the compact lobby of the airport, I found the following image: http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group...c=gr%26.view=t and commented to the county worker, "I need to find the guy who took this photo!". Whereupon the guy said, "I took that photo!". I bought it from him on the spot for US$60 and am having it framed. The image does not have any text on it, unlike this thumbnail. So my point is, does anyone else know of a spectacular wave cloud image that is available for purchase in a large frame format. The most, MOST impressive picture I know of is hanging in the lobby of the Omarama, NZ gliderport lobby. It is a 1m x 1m or so image of the Taireipet wave cloud in black & white. Cheers, Kemp |
