Nothing like a contrast. I’m reading in yesterday mornings paper how people are sleeping rough in their cars around town because they can’t afford the astronomical rents being charged around Christchurch post earthquake …… I look out the window and there is this big flash boat being launched down in Redcliffs. Go figure!

Locally known as peacocks gallop. The story goes that there was once a man called Peacock who lived in Sumner by the sea. Knowing that the sea cliffs he passed under on his way to the city on his horse were like to send rocks down upon his delicate head, he decided that a fast moving horse was less likely to be hit. He would therefore gallop his horse along this section of the road. The recent Christchurch earthquakes have sent a lot of rubble, and part of one house to the bottom. Seems Mr Peacock had the right idea.
Photographed at St Leonards. Shirley won, but can’t remember the score.

Watched Ferrymead Bays soccer today down at Barnett Park. Fun to watch the little fellas running round the pitch. Some are so intent, and seem to have a real feeling for the game, others just sort of run round like headless chickens, not really sure what they should be doing.

Went out with friends for a surf on the estuary bar. We had timed it to be there just before low tide. It was perfection: a point break with a conveyor belt to take us back out to behind the break, 200 metre rides, no wind, blue skies and a low sun. We surfed for roughly 2.5 hours and had a ball – then it was to the pub for a pint and chips! The photos aren’t the greatest; its quite hard photographing with one hand on the paddle whilst holding a camera and riding a wave all at the same time!

I was in Hanmer over the weekend with friends who were competing in the Dirtwear ride. I hadn’t really planned to, but ended up wandering round the course with my cameras taking shots of the riders. Light wise it was a bit tricky, being an overcast day and pretty dark under the trees. Fortunately, modern DSLR’s aren’t too bad at 2000 – 3200 ISO, and with the help of a flash I managed to get some okay shots. I have posted 449 of them here.
