keep off the grass
this is a good sign on so many levels. good as it's a picture of a sign used as a public sign. and also good as it's still got the water mark of the stock agency who they stole it off. And is suspect the person who took the picture didn't have permission from the person who built the original sign.
it's a sign of the times.
avoiding illegalism
an early post as we've got an election tomorrow and there's some rules about influencing votes on the day of the election which also apply to blogs and twitter etc (more here)
so i thought i should share these with you now. if you are in kiwi-land then do the honourable thing and go and vote.
and if not, wish us well (but don't post anything on facebook, twitter etc else you'll get busted ok?)
boats
here's a spooky ship i walked past on the way to work. it's some secret chinese thing to help with launching of satellites (not so secret i suspect).
and here are some nice fishing boats getting ready for their day on the open water
helicopter crash
a helicopter crashed in auckland today whilst putting up a christmas tree. the pilot walked away from the accident which was caught on film here
as it's nearby my office i popped out at lunch to take a picture from the other sides of the water and across the barricade. (knowing no one had been hurt - i'm not a sicko you know!)
as chance would have it, i took some pictures of the xmas tree bits on the way to work this morning so here is the star from the tree and the place the helicopter crashed just before it did its crashing thing

outside dining
this place was verge-ing on the ridiculous
a pack of cards up and down the street
these are the ones which were on the pavement
kissy kissy
sky tower does its thing
christmas arrives
it's starting to warm up in new zealand. a sure sign christmas is on its way. oh, and this giant chap stuck on a building
keep clear of the beehives
we went to some open gardens at the weekend. there were bees everywhere. especially on the footpaths. hoorah for bees
invisible tape on dispenser
they've done 'invisible' really well on this
open wharf edge conditions exist
'lots of superfluous words' conditions exist
falling outside the sign
poor chap. you would have at least have thought the side of a warning triangle would have been safe to walk on. instead it's a trap and this guy has taken a tumble
shepherd's pie
classic kiwi dinner
This was my first microwave dinner in years. not too bad. and highly convenient.
milk mourning

dummy
i still get a buzz out of seeing these things. every dummy is a step closer to me actually doing an exhibition of my dummy photos.
mannequin pose battle
there's a place where you can stand in auckland where the two opposite windows have two sets of three duelling mannequins doing poses at each other. like some funky disco posing battle from the early 80s. or something.
tastey
it's what all the kiwi chicks are wearing
election loons
nothing beat a general election for bringing out the loons to do some shouting (however worthy their cause, a megaphone, ukulele and out of tune tin whistle isn't going to win me over)
drop the megaphone though, and i'm in.
lolly vs ice cream tub
the age old battle
