luna halo
it's a proper phenomenon (and not a trick of the camera)
journey to a little island
the tide was low so we could walk to this little island
when we got there we found a sign saying danger. someone had put up a nice climbing rope next to it. yay for new zealand
dad's door
my dad sent me this. and it's excellent.
it's a bricked up door with a sign in it saying cyclist please dismount
great stuff.
please do not play on or under pool or table tennis table
olympic enthusiasm
there have been some massive rainbows recently. this one looked like it was coming out of local volcano, but it wasn't.
poor pictures as i was on a bus on the motorway so couldn't just hope off. but you get the idea.
calculate your combo
how to make something complicated
more reflections on wet walls
in the olden days when things were easier, i used to put things in categories. if i still did it then wet walls would be a new category
spring's on the way
daffodils mean easter, but down here they mean spring is on it's way and winter is making way for something a little warmer. so that's good news.
upstairs gallery up the stairs
the best place to put an upstairs gallery is up the stairs
awesome junk shop
i found the most amazing junk shop recently
i can't even begin to explain its size and amazingness. so i won't.
i can understand that will be wholly unsatisfactory
clouds and no clouds
there's auckland behind that cloud in the picture below
goodbye olympics
here's the extensive fan zone for 24 hour fan viewage taken early last week. we'll miss it when it's gone though.
it's getting light in the mornings
the view from the bus on the way to work in the morning
strawberry alarmclock
the cafe, not the band
castors for legs
ideal if you want to sweep someone off their feet.
volcanoes
there are a couple of volcanoes stirring in new zealand at the moment. thankfully none in auckland
here's our local most recent volcano - quite dormant
band on the run
vocalist, guitarist, drummist
morning
moon between a street light
work end
these are for my colleague Simon as he likes to end his powerpoint presentation with a 'works end' picture. And so do i.
the actual douglas coupland
hero. didn't disappoint.
break fast
i had to not eat food for a while for a reason. afterwards i had a break fast. an actual one.
actual birthday?
i discovered this morning that was actually born on the evening of the 1st August, which in NZ would have been the 2nd August. So allowed myself another birthday
these are pictures of yesterday's celebrations including a nicely dressed desk
and a work colleague lunch
before some present unwrapping
and a chocolate puffer fish cake (might be a hedgehog - but puffer fish is more vicious i think)
observe
one of my favourist places on earth.
big eye tony
from last january
tower
i'm missing all the minutiae of the olympic streets by being on the other side of the planet. short term pain but long term gain
happy birthday to me
i turned 40 today. that's a surprise.
