Wind Farm & Wildlife

Sunday I took a drive. It was a gray day, so I took B&W pics :)

Paekakariki:




Wind Farm near Eketahuna (these things are like huge knives up close -- they spin FAST)


Otaki:


Queen Elizabeth Park:


The sand sharks are scary in New Zealand.


This is the scary road rolling down into Maymorn:




On the road near Opaki:




The wildlife is amazing in New Zealand!


Some stuff: My friend, Ian -- from Blue Sky, started a blog:

Miguel posted more pictures from the Yonkers Power Plant. Click here to check them out (page 2 is really cool).

My brother sent me a weird e-mail:

What up what up
I'm a butterscotch stallion, I wear polyester and a gold medallion, in
sea of people who weigh a buck fifty or two bills, i eat m&m's like a
whale eats crill. i'm fatto, matto, cunning like splinter the rat
ohhhhh

Saturday I found an apartment -- it's really nice!

So. I heard there was a 5.8 earthquake today just south of New Zealand!! I called MOM to make sure you were OK. Did you feel anything? Any Tsunamis? I really think you should get some pictures or earthquales or tsunamis while you're down there.

I think they use the "Tire Tree" to mark the level of tsunamis and thus their intensity...you know, "Hey Dude! It was a 4 TIRE tsunami!!

Nice picts. I almost wish they weren't black and white...even though i am partial to that.

I wish you didn't need to kill that animal for that shot. I recommend keeping them alive.
