   Thanks for the comments. Norfolk Island is very beautiful indeed. It’s in the Pacific, a couple of hours from Australia’s east coast, or 1 1/2 hours from Auckland in New Zealand.

   It’s a self-governing Australian territory but some locals claim it’s independent. Whatever the formal status, it has a fascinating history, first as a British penal colony (the worst of the lot), then as home to the descendants of the mutineers from the Bounty when Pitcairn became too small.

   I could go on and on about Norfolk Island. I did an article on it for a New Zealand newspaper back when we were there (in 2003) and a short Trazzler trip. Maybe I should do a more comprehensive destination piece on it…

   Great shot and had to Stumble/Digg and Ping so we get more viewers.

   Cheers,
   Mike

   What an amazing picture! I love that this one shot captured the land, sea, and sky and all so very clearly. Would love to visit this place sometime!

     Thanks, Mary. Norfolk Island is one of my favourite places. Only trouble is, it’s so far away…
