The Milford Mariner, a replica of a traditional New Zealand coastal trading scow, sails through a blue-gray fog in Milford Sound.
The sound, part of Fiordland National Park on the southwest coast of New Zealand's South Island, is surrounded by towering, jagged peaks strewn with waterfalls. The Mariner takes tours right up to (and sometimes underneath) the frigid cascades.

I want to introduce a new feature in this blog and hopefully every Sunday will publish a Dream Pic of the Week. Readers are welcome to submit their pictures and I will include your name and link to your website.
Hope you like this one.
