True Colours
The true colours of the Mackenzie are golden tussocks, blue lakes, and gorgeous deep red skies.

A bank of clouds sweep in from the South - rain following fast behind.

This is my penultimate summer sunset here in #NewZealand before I head back to winter in the northern hemisphere #BlueSkyArtShow #Sunlight
A sunset at the beach at low tide. There is a thick band of clouds above the setting sun, with blue skies above those clouds. The sand is rippled and there is very shallow surf.

A beach sunset at low tide. The foreground is wet sand, and the sunset is reflected on the sand and the shallow surf. There are wispy clouds in the sky above the setting sun.

Having linguistics training and a hobby interest in dialects of English, wondering around downtown Wellington, NZ listening to people talk is fascinating. Naturally a variety of NZ dialects, Australian, Indian, North American dialects, and that’s just in 24 hours. 🙂 #NewZealand #EnglishDialects

Nugget Point in the Catlins area is a must visit if you are ever in New Zealand.
always pleasing with its rugged coastline and jagged nuggets of rock protruding out of the sea.

The government’s attack on workers rights continues. This noxious new Bill undermines fundamental rights & is part of an extreme agenda to strip back the employment relationship & turn human labour into just another commodity.

Bowen Falls, sometimes called Lady Bowen Falls in New Zealand is one of the most photographed waterfalls in the world, at least that's what the tour guide said.

FogBank

Coming home from Aoraki Mt Cook one night, when almost all of Lake Pukaki was covered in fog, save one small section.
Of course, I had to stop. Dinner could wait.

I’ve been here four weeks now and this was the first #sunrise I got up early enough to see. Sunrise over the #WaikanaeEstuary #KapitiCoast #NewZealand #EastCoastKin
Sunrise. In the foreground is wet, rippled sand. Further out is a small, rather still-looking river. Further out from that is some sand, then trees and houses, then hills. The sun is rising over the hills and reflecting on the water.

Quick question for you. Do you think we should turn our local social housing for senior citizens into big parks for food trucks?

Short answer? Of course not.
Long answer? Watch the video.

Tonight’s #sunset on the #KapitiCoast of #NewZealand was particularly stunning. #EastCoastKin
Sunset at low tide. The foreground is a shallow pool caused by the low tide, and the blue sky and clouds are reflected in it, as well as the sun’s orange-y rays. Beyond that is a sand bar, then the sea. There is a fisherman in the shallow water to the right of the sunset, and five fishermen further away, to the left of the sunset, near the edge of the image. At the horizon there are bands of clouds and also more feather-y clouds

In a park in #Aukland, #NewZealand, I think it was Albert Park but cannot remember for sure, there are lots of interesting big and twisted trees. Here's one of them, for #ThickTrunkTuesday.

Dewdrops on an apricot coloured Rose petal in my garden. I really enjoy the “getting out “ in the backyard and practicing my photography techniques at this time of the year, Sony a7iii and fe90 macro lens.

Hair lichens, Teloschistes velifer, spotted growing on this plant at Glenorchy Lagoon Wildlife Reserve, New Zealand, on 25 Dec 2025. A common lichen, growing on lots of things.
