Capture: Someone, Somewhere, In Summertime, in reply to Cecelia,
Love this picture.
Thanks Cecelia! Great Opotiki shots, Jos.
So the weather came right today and we went over the new motorway bridge at Jacob's Ladder. It's a nice piece of civic architecture, encompassed by a big pohutukawa at one end and opening out onto views of the marina at the other. Wandered down to Wynyard from there. It's really becoming something down there. Almost like a big city! -
Lovely photos so far all, good to see a mixture of stuff that's good to look at and stuff you've been doing.
Today I went to Browns Island with a friend who is trying to knock off every volcano in Auckland. He needed a boat for Browns so we press-ganged my partner into taking us. I managed to sit on the wet side of the boat in both directions. Browns has a pretty interesting history, and despite looking smooth from the mainland, it's really lumpy, with maybe half a metre of kikuyu in parts. On the way back we idled near Bean Rock so I could get this. I have done some modifications in Photoshop (rotate, levels, black & white) but the sky did look pretty much as you see it here. -
At the risk of turning this into last yearʻs Christmas post, I took these last week at the motorway end of Te Atatu Peninsula. This is the first time in 13 years of being in New Zealand that Iʻve felt the tiniest bit Christmassy. Mainly because of the pohutukawa trees.

I was going to comment but thought Iʻd let you do it. -
Today we accidentally came across Helensvilleʻs 150th anniversary celebrations. 100% New Zealand.

Yous lot might like my friend's documentary Sound It Out. It's a lovely portrait of the (UK) North-East's last independent record shop and the characters who frequent it. Some of you might recognise yourselves. It hasn't had an NZ screening yet, but you can rent or buy it from the site, or watch the preview here:

I get some magazines issues from Zinio, works nicely on iPad but can also access them on my laptop. Cheaper than the print versions and I don't end with a big stack of mags that I don't know what to do with.
