DownUnder and Over - NZ

Hello Ya'll!

I am down under and over a bit in New Zealand.

Probably won't be posting as much the next few months. Limited internet access is a pain in the but, 31.2 kbps = ouch. I was really pleasantly surprised how fast the info on PPO loads. Most internet connections here pay for it by the amount of info they use, 1gb = about $30.00.

Beautiful Scenes

Yes, I have to wear one of these Orange suits also. Not only is it winter here, for those that are globally impaired, the SUN is in the NORTH. It rises in the Northeast and sets in the Northwest.

I will be back in full effect in September when I get back to my computer and High Speed.

Man do I envey you, I bet it's beautiful there.........Hope you have a great time half way around the world from us....

At least you'll be back in time for the beggining of the football season.....

Looks beautiful there snow. Have a ball and post when you can! :lol:

Looks like a nice place, have a good time.

Enjoy your time down there SIA. We'll keep the light on for you.

Hey, I had to add this photo and a short story.

Tonight, looking out the patio window, this is what I saw.

It was a group of roughly 60-80 bottlenose dolphins in our bay.

It was fun to watch them with binocs. The photo was taken with a 650mm lens, at about 3200 ISO.

I would love to be able to see that site out in the wild.

Update from downunder and over!

Thought these photos might be interesting.

I took all these myself. The dolphins like to come right up to the boat and investigate. Sometimes they like to ride the wake in the back of the boat, that was cool to see, it was kind of like surfing not on top of the wave but right in the wave.
