Something To Shoot For

We paid a quick visit to the resurgence while we were in Nelson. Spotted this neat tree house on the way there.

Red Rocks is only  a short distance from the center of Wellington. Apart from being a nice walk, it’s also home to a fur seal colony. It’s fun to visit them but don’t get too close, by which I mean don’t get close at all. Seals are both large and wild – some people miss this, and terrify me with the prospect of an angry seal attack. Often you don’t notice any seals, then you see one, then two, then the seven or so that adorn photo 3.

I don’t often get irked by changes to Google Reader etc. But the recent update has taken away a lot of vertical space, which is big deal to a 13″ laptop. Here’s a user CSS file that gives a little of that back. To install this in Opera right click the Google Reader page and select Edit Site Preferences then choose the style sheet on the Display tab. (User css: google-reader-reclaim.css)

Update: Here’s a version that will work with Firefox.

We had a great stay at Waiterere last Summer. Here are a few of the film shots I’ve recently had developed. We won’t be going back this year, but instead we’ll be looking forward to a new adventure in Raumati.

In summer New Plymouth lights up its parks and streets for the Festival of Lights.  Here are a few snaps from January.
