Kaikoura Pohutukawa flowers

The Pohutukawa -
with masses of brilliant crimson to deep red flowers at Christmas time, is known as the New Zealand Christmas tree.

Kaikoura New Zealand - sky, trees, hills on the peninsula

Something about these trees on a hill and watercolour sky appeals to me.

I took it as a reference for a painting I would like to do one day when my current art projects are finished.
