Up there….yup again…

……can’t really get away from it in this….

 

…..part of the world.

…..& as you can see……different chutes for different folks too……..

Actually why not invite a few of your friends to drop off their back-packs and enjoy total “air freedom”….in Nelson….and be really “up above”….

In Nelson there is a bit of a problem because the hills rise so quick behind the town.

However I’d be surprised if adventure oriented & outdoors folks would see that as an issue.

This week Summer is now here in NZ…… so there is no excuse for not taking it into your world with both hands……..

…..these pics are from somewhere you too can visit in Nelson in the next 1 ~ 2 weeks.

…its still interesting to see above me…….

When I was growing up….teenage years memento here…….at that time it was parachutists. But time moves on…….apparently today this activity (“parachuting'”) is too dangerous “in situ” of NZ’s 4th or 5th busiest airport. So, eventuating from that……..Motueka is now the Nelson Bays capital of skydiving.

How high are the hills…..

behind Nelson City. As you can see here…….

High enough to be enveloped in clouds

that’s how high

Its sixfifteen and hows your day starting……?

Tai Chi on the Beach

….Tai Chi practitioners at Tahunanui Beach, Nelson this morning.

Americas Cup skippers in training….

 

In the Nelson Haven

Sitting down tonight…

Been told on the odd occassion by folk that “surely you get bored by the view after a while”.……..

Well……………short answer emphatically is “No” you don’t.

Forestry, Fruit and Fish….

Commonly referred to, locally, not so eloquently by the term, the “three F’s”

These three are generally accepted as the things ……………..

that keep the Nelson Bays region humming……………

…..and visual landmarks like the Nelson Pine MDF factory re-inforce that.

Although to be fair, with the days of summer well and truly on us again

……..its patently obvious that tourism is playing an increasingly major role now.

Just as relevant this holiday season

Some also call it the “silly season.”

These two pages were in locally produced literature ** last year, and they serve again, right now……..

over the coming summer of 2010 ~ 2011, as a reminder that its good for all involved to always act responsibly.

Certain hobbists would say the Best of British

however I think there would also be just as many others

who would beg to differ and would opt a preference for an earlier model.

Interesting way to cross the Haven

and venture out into the open sea,

well at least it is for the lad at the back of the kayak it will be, but they’ve got their supplies there alright

…..at least the young fella appears to be wearing a lifejacket though.

Maybe the Tenants thought

“…..nah sure they won’t notice anything?”

…different about the place during the next property inspection?
