photos and other things…
A recent walk down to Lake Pupuke on Auckland’s North Shore welcomed me with cool still waters. After shooting for a little while the morning began to warm and the water lost its mirror, but it was beautiful while it lasted!
Friday took me on a work outing out to the West Coast, walking around some wonderful and diverse scenery.
I took along my old 35mm Minolta XG1 and iPod in pocket. Over the next week I’ll share some of the walk, and the background of the area.
For today though, Ill leave it with a shot of ‘Flowers by the Lake’. I ran another half marathon today – my first run since last months half marathon. I managed to shave 12min’s off the previous time!
More tomorrow!

Some weeks go faster then others. This week didn’t particularly feel that way, so come Friday works end I was ready to unwind for the week. Taking a trip to Lake Pupuke in Takapuna I inadvertently took a wrong turn and came across a walking track I had not seen before. The heavy rain at various times over the last month had soaked the ground and my flat bottomed business shoes struggled to keep me upright on some of the more sloped sections, but it was a great track all the same. A nice finish to the working week.
Shot on the GRD IV, I spent some post time in Gimp softening and diffusing the original to get today’s image.
