Lake Ohau, in New Zealand’s South Island
This is not your average craft market, rather a real market in the sense that it is the community that shops here, the tourists seldom hear about it or go.

Crystal clear waters of a stream in New Zealand’s South Island.
Aoraki/Mt Cook, New Zealand. For once it was not hiding in the clouds :) The Lake in the foreground is Lake Pukaki. It is the most amazing colour.
while in southland new zealand take the southern scenic route stray a little from the beaten track and you will be rewarded with beautiful native bush walks and waterfalls . .
I do. And everything she symbolizes – the familiar sights and sounds, the period of our lives embedded in long term memory with our mothers, sisters, aunties and neighbors in it, the uniform sound of a sewing machine intertwined with casual chitchat. I still remember those gentle hands, gliding skillfully over soft materials, more than capable of turning a piece of fabric into lovable garments. Even my first girlfriend, the sweetest of souls, from a family of many, used to make clothes for herself, in patterns and colors she desired, as tight as I could wish, to perfectly fit the young man’s eye. Nowadays, the skill has migrated to distant lands, in search of a new pair of hands, not necessarily gentler, certainly cheaper. Time flies. We are left to do what people whose expiry date is fast approaching do – recycle the recollection of the good old days, the age when we were young and good looking. Now, we are only good looking. Such is life.
Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.
When She Walks She Moves So Fine Like A Flamingo
Most people don’t die until the last moment; others start twenty years in advance, sometimes more. Those are the unfortunates. Louis Ferdinand Céline (1894-1961)
Like carpet, the purpose has been pulled under the existence of the old bush hut at the end of the railway line.

The writing is on the wall – if you can see it, you can’t read it. I passed this sculpture so many times. You have to. It is made of stainless steel and placed in one of the busiest Wellington streets, in the perfect position to capture the colorful lights of the city after daylight, the nightglow of the capital. The ‘Invisible City’, as it’s called, is the gigantic panel of Braille text that highlights the communication gap between those who can’t see and the rest of us. The post is designed to remember all the folks, my countrymen and yours, the often invisible part of society, all those who finish schools, who work, play music, do sports, pay taxes, have and raise children, to the benefit of us all.
Piha Beach, West Coast of Auckland, New Zealand. (Pacific Ocean) These rocks remind me of a God laid down to sleep and the tide has come in around him. This particular day the storms crashed and roared. It was spectacular.
What do you call the light that permanently imprints itself into the deepest corner of your cerebral real estate? Just a memorable one, divine, sublime? The star was going down fast, as it was just a matter of ‘to get it over and done with‘ a daily sunset routine – until that moment. Like it was switched on by some all powerful hand residing somewhere in the center of a kingdom of light, the sunbeam reached across the valley, bringing all the associated attributes with it, like joy and warmth, just for a few moments, before disappearing altogether. The blue cold haze drowned the beautiful Hawkes Bay valley, but not before the last ray of sun got there first. I was standing in awe … for a while in fact, still in disbelief. Review button and LCD screen confirmed it did happen. Sweet. I’ll treasure selfishly the melody of breeze passing through the treetops, the smell of golden grass and feel of fallen leafs under my feet. Not to worry, I left something to share with you. Here it is.
This is another photo of my daily commute; it seems I get inspired on Monday mornings for some reason. This shot was taken near the rowing course on Lake Ruataniwha. Featured / Red Bubble – September 2009 / Other Work HDR Horses Hydro Motorcycles People Sky
