Hard News: A modest appeal, in reply to Lilith __,
Ducks deluxe...
But since then they’ve taken the city back!
It's the new City slogan:
Christchurch, there's quacks everywhere...
(but really we're just wading for the Man...) -
Hard News: A modest appeal, in reply to Lilith __,
Nelson Creek, eh! Now a delightful camping spot.
Are there still glow worms in the tunnel
through to the swing bridge?
I was always intrigued by that tannin colour of the creek
and can remember catching trout for breakfast
and gaffing eels at night in it...
aaah, West Coast time is fuller
than other places... -
Hard News: A modest appeal, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Quicksilver Messengers...
went to manage a dredging venture at Okarito
My dad's father was a dredge master in the Grey Valley and environs,
including round Nelson Creek where they lived, Dad and his brothers
also had a claim near the deep lead up from the Creek.
I only ever went to the claim once, it was pretty rugged
and I'd hate to be there when some of the tunnels they'd dug
suddenly filled with water. And I can still remember being worried by
the crate of sweating gelignite in the shack there. I still have the
alluvial gold we panned that day (a very small amount in a vial). -
Capture: Colour is the new black, in reply to JacksonP,
upta yer old apteryx...
Figured this would stretch the ‘City Scenes/2011’ thread even further...
...very arch - though it does look a fossilised version of the old
College Hill Hydra Building Kiwi - with its beak buried in the sand....
perhaps an alternative ending for a cheapo New Zild version of
The Planet of the Apes er, maybe the the Quiet Earth of Apes
or something, anyone? anyone? -
Capture: City Scenes, in reply to Tom Ackroyd,
Blair Street, Wellington
When I worked in Blair Street
it was mostly just the vege and flower market area
with the bus depot at the end towards the sea
bit different these days I hear...
What arach!This is a spider!
that's a Rorschach test!

I just toss words in the air
and observe the patterns
the spaces between
the connections
and look for balanceI should really look for a job...

..and I meant to say Gin Wigmore has done well!
I saw two TV shows in a row the other night
(one Aust and one American) that had her songs in them...
Good on her! -
