Swaying Elephant

This is what my mate Scottie says when you gets itchy feet, "Swaying Elephant" - apparently elephants in captivity began to sway. I'm laying in bed late on a Sunday morning and found this website that makes a travel map of which countries you've been to.

I'm at 20 countries which is only 8%! And when I see it visually I'm flabbergasted by these massive chunks of the world of which I've not seen a bit.

So now I'm just chomping at the bit to go to Europe in July, and also to do some serious travel again soon in South America, Africa, and Asia.

Wellington Sunrise

By some weird planetary alignment, or possibly a flock of butterflies in Paris, I was asleep by half ten last night. This caused the most unexpected result of waking naturally at half six in the morning. Remember, winter’s coming on here so it’s bloody dark.

Well, as I was feeling inexplicably rested I took a stroll on the wharf that’s about 200 yards from my building this morning and grabbed a couple snapshots of sunrise.

Hope all’s well wherever y’all are!

PS I found it odd that when I put these photos up, I noticed for the first time I didn't tag them as "Travel" - crazy how at home I feel here.

Easter Weekend Photos

I've got my Easter Weekend photos up. It was a fabulous time with a Kiwi, some English, Burmese, and Flemish. A beautiful vineyard on the East Cape of the North Island.

All photos are here, otherwise here are some of my favorites:

Weeks flying by...

Somes to City

Went out to Somes Island in the Wellington harbour on Saturday. It was beautiful, but have found my weeks are blazing by lately which is disconcerting. I feel it's never a good thing if life isn't highly punctuated - if not I'm not being present enough.


Also took some photos from of public art around my flat this weekend:

Photos...

Well I've had my first couple images published in a NZ music magazine last week, and a one of my Volvo Ocean Race images is being used on a website for some international medical regulation convention being held in Wellington.

That being said I've gotten a bit of well deserved flack for not posting any stories for a while. I actually was pages into a an update a month ago, interrupted to go see the sevens tournament and haven't quite finished yet. I do promise a small novel is on it's way...

In the mean time here are some images from the Women's World Cup of Cycling held this weekend in Wellington. A beautiful day and very cool racing that went right below the window of my flat!

Cheers, y'all!

Also shot this...

...As a spectator at least. The Volvo Ocean Race (formerly the Whitbread) came through Wellington this year and the boats were incredible!

I promise there are real updates coming...

But until then, I shot a DJ show (terrible light and almost no performance value) but very cool video show and great music. Hexstatic (I believe from the UK & and part of the Ninja Tunes group)
