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!

I’m still here…

I know it’s been a while, but I started a new job which I love and not really had the time to post.

For those of you keeping up with website developments… I’ve started rebuilding my website again!!!!

I know, I know. It’s been a perpetual work in motion. This time though, I’ve actually started to develop the new site.

It’s based around a mobile first, responsive design that I’m putting together. It will look very similar to the previous incarnation of the website, while not totally unusable mobiles wise, wasn’t responsive design or mobile optimised. It was SEO friendly but times have changed and practices altered so the new design will reflect current methodologies.

If you’re interesting in keeping up with the development of the new site it’s located on a sub domain development site.

The other news is that I’ve now two sites to maintain, my photography website and an as yet an undeveloped copy of the photography website. This will be more design related.

I’ve also picked up a few domain names since my last post. The most useful is my four letter domain SB-Q. I just need to work out what I can get the Q to stand for!

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.

Stary Stary Night

Okay, I know I’ve used that heading before but this time it’s for the other side of the world – literally. Here’s a shot I took at Shuswap Lake in BC, Canada earlier this year.

Enjoy.
