Leave a comment with your non-Googled guess As seen at The Roxy back in December 2014 when, I assume, one of the The Hobbit movies came out. Bloody awesome being in "Wellywood" when this happens.

Personal 22-degree halo

Image
Thought I'd share my very own 22-degree halo from 2014 as seen here in Miramar (Wellington, NZ) Halos around the sun or moon are caused by high, thin cirrus clouds drifting high above your head. Tiny ice crystals in Earth’s atmosphere create the halos. They do it by refracting and reflecting the light. Lunar halos are signs that storms are nearby.

I like the Vodafone* Building reflections of the sky, the blue windows and the beige (?) stonework really complement each other. And there's a Christmas tree. * in December 2014

Fallen In Love With Brenas Photo

Image
There's something about this photo that has got under my skin and I can't stop looking at it - reminds me of certain early 20th century paintings, one that Poirot would have hanging in his rooms. Brena is a fantastic photographer, check out all her photos:  https://brena.nz/

It's the branches that I love about this shot, the ferry is merely happenstance.

Even The NZ Birds Are Rugby Critics

Image
Haha, my Welsh Rugby Union air freshener, which I'll be honest I thought was a fridge magnet when I bought it, had a zero star review from the New Zealand bird population.

WCC Election: Eastern Suburbs Peeps To Vote For

Image
Stuff  has wee profiles on the Eastern Suburbs candidates for the City Councillor elections  Ajay Rathod , 53 Sean Rush , 50, Barrister Chris Calvi-Freeman , 62, Transport planner/City councillor Sarah Free , 59, City councillor Bernard O'Shaughnessy , 68, Community Advocate Steph Edlin , 18, Head Girl at St Catherine's College Teri O'Neill , 21, Policy and Business Analyst at Capital Government relations I'd like to say a big thank you to each and everone for stepping forward to try and represent us all from the Peninsular - it's not an easy path you choose to walk along. As for me I will definitely be putting a tick next to Sarah Free - I like her personally, I like the majority of her views, I appreciate the work she does and that she tells us about it. For the other 2 places up for grabs, hmm, not so sure. Maybe some younger voices is the way to go. All I also of you, dear reader, is that you VOTE. The election will be called on 12th October. 20–25 September Del

Today is not a day for staunch. Today I cry.
