The view from my "office"

Thanks for that pic. I can see our old property! At the peak of the big bare rock.

Te Mata Peak has been witness over the years to many teenage shenanigans!

That zig zag bike path has been very contentious. Craggy Range actually put it in at significant cost - with council consent. But there has been such a public outcry at the appearance, including for local Maori, that it is about to be removed again and the land restored.

Yes we heard the story from the fellow at Akarangi who was not impressed with the people from CR.

The path is however very popular with walkers every time we went past there were dozens of cars parked and people walking up and down the track.

Today’s office the Capilano Suspension Bridge, just north of Vancouver.



It’s the final days of “Canyon Lights”. The iPhone simply can’t capture just how stunning the Canyon looks when lit up by one million lights (or so they claim).

There’s are some amazing installations like these owls:



...and glowing spheres hanging above still water ponds. Once the sun set it was incredibly difficult to tell which were the lights and which were reflections.



At 250 metres, this is claimed to be Canada’s tallest Christmas tree:

Dunno about fireworks, but we were welcomed to SIN with a spectacular thunderstorm, lightning overhead and torrential rain.

I wonder what the SWL for that bridge is??

I wonder what the SWL for that bridge is??

Does that mean 'it looks really crowded and I wouldn't be standing on there with all those people' ? because that's what I thought!

According to one of the staff, 7 million pounds... or roughly 3,170 tonnes.

The guy also said that if every person on the bridge was an elephant, it would still be okay.

The ocean pool at Oak Park, Cronulla is completely submerged with the high tide. The hand rail for the steps along the left hand perimeter are just visible.
