Right now at 7pm tonight in Stoke

this does look like

…situation normal?

Just a local wood carving…

…but upon closer inspection…

Wondering where the sun sets…

in winter in Nelson, well here is where it sets a day or two either side of the shortest day down under.

Summers nearly here…

and that can only mean one thing, Nelson City Council lines the main shopping centre city streets with colourful hanging baskets.

Today, being their first day, is when it would appear they get a really big drink to start off with.

Crews practicing today…

down at Nelson Airport.

One good thing about the Winter…

in Nelson, is the sunsets.

Spotted travelling through….

got to love the number plate surround too.

Lake Rotoiti shot …

 

following on from yesterdays post….here’s what I feel is one of my best photos of the lake.

Lake Rotoiti – Nelson Lakes National Park

….as well as ducks up here…

there are other things….

…things that also like clear fresh water too….

Random Rural Nelson pic

Whether its Nelson or Christchurch…

…New Zealands South Island knows how to make you grateful…

…that you live in this …

…particular part of Godsown….double rainbow and all last Sat night!

A Nelson Waterfront residence experiences….

its own slippage…in fact so much so from the mid year storms that it had to be “de-constructed”

Something that just wasn’t worth crying over….

…spilt locally!

Something a bit different, but still in NZ’s South Island..

Ok its not Nelson, its Queenstown, but as you slalomed down this, you have to admit you really are getting an eyeful of a vista!

Must have a ball….

…..driving around in this car.

Fifty Years Old and still…

going strong day to day.

Spring Tide meets Nelson…

but mainly because there was a double whammy

…being the amount of rain …..

still pouring down the rivers from the hills..

…this double shot had this effect on our town.
