Later on the lights really took over, and the tribute to the recent tragedy at Pike River, during which they played ISHFWILF and One Tree Hill, was suitably poignant, with the names projected on the screen.

Hard News: Friday Music: Sound and Light, in reply to JonathanM,
The last U2 gig at Mt Smart was also in the round
Yep, turns out I was there.
Quite an impressive stage, with bridges into the audience and such like. Jay Z was a highlight for me. Although U2 baging out I Will Follow and some other tunes from my yoof was still a fun night.

The caravan has become a mythological place where we go to unwind, although weekends seem to now be taken up by sporting children from February to October.
The top is during an idyllic weekend closer to Christmas.
And then the weather came and flattened the awning against the van. No lasting damage, but looked dramatic.

We did get to Piha a few times, although not nearly as much as last year.

Danger of uploading from Phone is photo may be larger than it appears.
It's sunrise season round our place.

Piha tree.
Thank you Nora. Looking through my photos, I realise I’ve had a pretty quiet summer this year. Although, I will check my phone, and seems I’ve taken a lot more photos on that. :-)

A few photos from the Tiny Ruins and Lawrence Arabia show in December. For some reason they didn’t quite reach blog status, but since I’m here.

Capture: Laneway 2017 - Park Life, in reply to Russell Brown,
Thanks for posting all the crowd and location shots Russell. We were given fairly clear instructions to leave the crowd to the enjoyment of their day and not push our large cameras at them. Having covered many Laneway Fests from the crowd, and with all the iPhone selfies and suchlike out in the world, it seemed a little... something, but I kind of get the point. That didn't stop people walking up to me and asking me to take their photos though.
I'll post a few more of the acts in the comments when I get home later.

Capture: With My Voice, in reply to Rob Stowell,
is it open slather these days?!
Thanks for the comments. Not so much open, but my little Canon G16 doesn't seem to trouble most venues these days.
Although it does depend on the promoter and the venue. Last night at PJ Harvey I was told fairly plainly that if my camera comes out, I go with it. Which given the quality of most Phone cameras these days is a bit of a hopeless cause.
I was thinking about the sound on the night, and certainly standing at the front was a great place to get the sense of Nick Cave's voice, and when I went back by the desk, it was still good, but not quite as present. My experiences in the seats haven't always been so good.

Hmmm. That could work.
Maybe 'ashtag it? #RIP
