Island Bay

Beautiful day again. This is from Island Bay looking out to the snow dusted mountain caps on the South Island.

Ever wonder where you are?

This very (not) helpful street guide map in Ottawa, Canada.

New Plymouth

Just found this post in my drafts folder. Oops. So I’ll post it now.

This was a few years ago now. After a few days in the sea front town of New Plymouth with the Taranaki volcano dominating the background I finally managed to get one or two of the elusive beast.

Although the skies were clear blue about our heads there always seemed to be a small clump conveniently perched right about the peak. The weather provided a few breaks in the clouds but it didn’t let up much.

Along the walk on the sea front I came across an interesting boulder that to me had a natural formation that I thought resembled the South Island. At the other end of the walk was this magnificent bridge, the ‘Te Rewa Rewa Bridge’

Back to Wellie on Wednesday for a couple of days before departure again.

More photo’s after the break!

Drone’s Away…

Yes, I’ve taken the plunge and bought a drone. After unsuccessfully trying to fly a RC Helicopter, I’m pleased to say these new drones are much easier to fly. This is a shot of my drone taken from my friends other drone in attack mode following me around. Such a great day.

And yes, I’m back to NZ the end of this month and the drone with be joining my existing camera equipment. I just need to work out now how to host my video files.

Snow – yeah

Finally, I’ve got some snow! Keep it falling.

Sunset in Vancouver

I loved Vancouver and hope to get back there some day.

Through the window

I’ve been looking through some of my New Zealand photographs the last couple of days looking for suitable photos for this years xmas cards.

Here’s another shot from one of my favourite places in NZ, Lake Tekapo. This one is looking over the lake from inside the warmth of the YHA there.

Enjoy.

Snow where to go…

And to think; we’ve only got a bit of ice to deal with!

Kapiti Island

I love walking on this beach watching the sun set over Kapiti Island. It’s such a calm and tranquil place for me, and one that I miss very much along with my friends who live here.

More from the (Canadian) Badlands

Here’s a nice evening (night) pic I took earlier this year during my visit to Drumheller, Canada.

I though the ambient lighting was perfect in this shot to create a real sense of atmosphere.
