Wanaka’s Famous Tree
Holidaying down in Wanaka this week. The best week of the year… It’s been most gloomy and rainy… and the weather service is promising snow tomorrow! Could I be more happy?
This tree is 5-6 metres out in the lake. I photograph it every year – this might be the ultimate shot. What do you think?
Out Standing… in their field
Yeah, yeah… but is what they do and what they were doing. I am especially fond of the bull in the hole. I’m sure there’s a twisted cliche in there – but one is probably enough for tonight…
Some nice pipes there
Had the opportunity to photograph the Auckland Town Hall organ this past weekent. This was my favourite bit.
Full frontal view!
A little retro
It’s been a while since I had a play with Photoshop. Don’t know what got into me today, but I just felt like it…
Orderly Autumn
You have to get out of town to see the autumn colours… We generally don’t do them well on the north island… but sometimes… sometimes we do all right
Red Cracking Bolete
No – I’m not done with the mushrooms yet… I’ve shared some of the most beautiful ones, but there are others… not quite so beautiful, like this Bolete – with a porous, spongy underside that is a bit oozy, instead of the lovely delicate gills.
This is just a bit ick. It gets worse, I promise you…
Gone Mushrooming
I know it’s rude to say – sorry, I’ve not been around, but I’ve been busy. So – I’ll reach back to my Estonian roots and say that I’ve been mushrooming. Literally… Went to the Coromandel for a short holiday and photographed mushrooms to my hearts delight. Came home and discovered there are untold mushrooms in my own garden that I’d never noticed before… I can just nose them out. Like a pig after truffles I suppose.
I was going to post one here – but somehow I inserted my favourite eight without intending to. So here they are. What do you think?
