Valley Scene.


This is the photo I was taking when I forgot to put the car into park ....... it rolled into a ditch, up a slight bank and came to rest against a fence ...... the most embarrassing part was having to be towed out!!

No, that was the most amusing part!

Oh wow. Guess it could have been worse...

Anyway, the pic looks like it was worth it. I simply must vist NZ one day.

Yes, it could have been worse, and the only thing hurt was my pride.
NZ is beautiful Karen, it's just a shame about what's happening here :(

I'm impressed you managed to keep the camera so steady as the car rolled....now that's dedication!

oh, you weren't actually in the car then :-)

Gecko said...

Haha, maybe I should have worded it differently, but no I wasn't in the car. Guess I did one thing right though, I wasn't standing in front of it ........

ZenTiger said...

Yes, that's something to be thankful for - and the picture was worth it.

Gecko said...

Thank you Zen :)

Gecko said...

Thanks MK. I reckon I won't be doing that again, lol!

Thank you Kirly :) The car is fine, it has a very tiny indentation in the bumper, it's a good old sturdy Mercedes .....
