Silly shit you do when you are young.
The two tops were limb locked and I had to fell them both out at once.I wedged the back one over and the front one went with it.If the boss had seen this or the picture I would have been fired.
The shirt you are wearing...is that where the lumberjack song all started from?;)
Will have to drag the photo albums out. Have got some goodies from Cambodia Laos Viet Nam and Africa.
First attempt at sunrise photos using the drone.

Looks tempting!
Biggest bugs I ever came across were at the bottom of the rock the Mikhail Lermentov hit...about 8 years before it hit it.
Walkers rock, in the Sounds. Almost never diveable due to the rips. Managed it on a freak calm day. Could only lift 4 of them. two were the size of dive tanks. Spiny reds too. Not packhorses.
Inspiring pictures
Whopping Poplar fell.
Had to rope the whole lot down apart from the trunk.
Hard to beleive this was 15 years ago
Now that looks like a lot of work!
C'mon @MSL, you know you want to! ;)

I've enough old corrugated iron and timber to just build over the top of the stacked and flitched pile.

Fledgling Morepork in the bush at home. There where 5 birds in the same tree - mum, dad and three of this years chicks.

This young woman and her fella are vegans,they agreed to come along fishing.This is the first fish she ever caught,smile sayes it all.
We caught a bunch of Sei and heaps of Ling Cod in the 10 to 20 kg range.
A week later they come out to the house to eat the fish,I thought I had defrosted too much but thought that they could just take it home if they ended up liking it.Those two ate enough fried fish for four men!
Made this the other day for my sons birthday. Sure it's copied off the internet but he thought it was pretty cool.

your sons...or yours???? that looks like a Rumpy mid day snack to me LOL.....
The happiest night of my wife in Christchurch. It was not because how much she won without any knowledge of casino, but the experience of engaging with the locals for the first time.

Here are couple of sunsets from shooting sites in Canterbury. The first one during Aussie bushfire about 10 years ago - we just stopped everything and marvelled at the terrain. Like a huge Vincent painting.

and this one while setting up for spotlighting in Lake Ellesmere area - intense colouring. Memorable..

I introduced my mum to photography about 15 years ago. My dad passed away 11 years ago next month, and now at the age of 80, photography consumes about 90% of my mum's waken hours. She will find a photo in anything. I take her on regular outings to give her fresh material to work with which supplements her still life settings that she does in her retirement village apartment.
Here's a few of her recent ones sent to me via messenger.

Your mum has a good eye for a setting that is for sure!
Your mother got a colourfully retired life,nice for her.She must have a nice camera,the colours of photos so intense and sharp.Well done.
Have tried to keep her gear as up to date as possible. Her having to learn new gear on a semi regular basis is good mental stimulation (better than sitting in a chair doing sudoku) :thumbsup:
She is currently using Nikon Z7 and several Z and adapted S series lenses.
There is some great fungus around at this time of year. Not always easy to get a good photo of though. Well done to her.
Nice works from your mum, and she must has steady hands. Do `t know what camera your mum is using, but Sony Alpha serials you may introduce to her since it is lighter than SLR, good for capturing daily stuffs, and can make movie style of video with it.
The end of my enduro cross, dirt bike. But, I will pick it up again, once I settle in new place after this covid thing.
