Canterbury high country (again)

In: NZ Stories|Photographic

26 Sep 2010

My road trip a couple of weeks back was to capture some stunning dawn shots of rivers and mountains.  This time, following my son’s instructions, I drove right up the Rakaia Valley as far as Glenfalloch Station.  I got there well before dawn, walked around a bit until I saw some signs of life and introduced [...]

Cow Pat Bingo

23 Sep 2010

Several months ago I bought a raffle ticket.  It was quite expensive as raffle tickets go, $5, but I was hooked by the great idea behind it.  It was called “Cow Pat Bingo” and the result would be decided on 19 September at the  Auckland Point School Gala Day.  I noted the date in my [...]

Christchurch earthquake

The massive earthquake of last weekend in Christchurch is still very much in our minds right now.  Here are some images from the area still cordoned off, taken at a happier time.  The Christchurch Arts Centre in fact used to be the home of Canterbury University.  When my wife and I attended that university the [...]

Kaikoura fur seal pups

5 Sep 2010

A highlight of our trip to Kaikoura last weekend was the fur seals.  There are hundreds of them, all down the Kaikoura Coast, but one spot in particular had hit the news the week before. A small stream at Ohau Point has provided a safe refuge and playground for the last five or six years for groups [...]
