360 panorama from the top of Te Mata Peak, Hawkes Bay. Not sure how this will appear in Mastadon as it's quite a large image and may not be easy to view it.

Tolaga Bay wharf.
Random photo: A couple of amorous frogs I found in our pool skimmer. I released them in a safer place as frogs in the pool tend to lead short lives
Random Photo: Old style cruise ship docked in Auckland. This is the Saga Ruby built in 1953. It gets backed into the wharf as all its service ports are down it's left hand side.
How do I know this? I said hello to a person on the wharf who turned out to be Ship Spotter and gave me the detail.
I got the full rundown of the history of the ship, its design, its previous owners, its past names, its current owners, its function (British over 50s cruises) and so on.

Random mobile photo: Pan of Pekapeka wetlands, Hawkes Bay. About 15 minutes south of Hastings. I managed to get three images of the same swan as began its take off.
Random mobile photo(s): Oruawharo Homestead, Hawkes Bay. I lived here from 1988 - 92 and 97 -98.
It was definitely an interesting place to live.

A rock my brother gave to me. He found it on one of the Wellington beaches.
Random mobile photo: Entrance to the 2015 Sanctuary Sounds music festival.
Sanctuary Sounds is a grass roots themed music festival held on the first weekend of December each year in Central Hawkes Bay.
I think the theme for 2015 was Steampunk - hence the engine.
Sanctuary Sounds is on again this year with 26 bands playing over 3 days: https://www.sanctuary-sounds.co.nz/

Random mobile photo: Low light photo of my reading room as it was some years ago.
Random mobile photo: Cooking a leg of lamb hung from tripod in front of a fire. The lamb has been rubbed with a Moroccan spice mix.
Why is the fire so big? Because we also used it to heat ourselves.
Random Mobile image: My mother in law was from England. When she died we used my friends London double decker bus to carry her coffin to the crematorium only it didn't fit so we had to strap it in the back door so it was sticking out.
She would have enjoyed it
The bus is a 1948 Routemaster and actually used to run on routes where she lived. It's very possible that she had ridden in it before.
