Zoo Shooters
At the Wellington Zoo yesterday and couldn’t help slipping back into street shooting mode 🙂
Nikon D90, 50mm f1.8 and 80-200 f2.8 Lenses, ISO 400
Sleeper And Bag With Teeth
Sometimes when you go to shoot one thing something else comes along… The guy with the bag sat on the seat just as I was taking the shot of the sleeper 🙂

Boxing Day Beach
Here are a few shots from Boxing Day… The weather here has been super nice with 28 degree days and no wind, which is rare for Wellington…
There has also been large numbers of Jellyfish floating around the harbor and consequently washing up on the beach. Luckily they are the non fatal kind 🙂

Merry Christmas
Even Mrs Chippy was looking christmasy yesterday in the perfect 28 degree heat.
Mrs Chippy was the ships cat on the Endurance which was caught in the ice on Antarctica and later crushed. Harry McNish, whose grave the cat is on,who was the ships carpenter (or chippy) adopted the cat who became known as Mrs Chippy, a name that stuck even after it was discovered the Mrs Chippy was a boy.
Tragically when the ship was destroyed the cat was shot since only essential supplies could be taken…
Harry McNish was one of the small crew selected to go to try and find help to rescue the crew… Frank Worsley wrote a book called Shackleton Boat Journey which described the adventure.
I have a bit of family link to this as currently one of my uncles is in Antarctica restoring the historic sites used by people like Shackleton.

Double Sleepers
The amusing thing about this image is that about 20 metres away is a massive Christmas tree with loads of bean bags to lay on which would have been much more comfortable 🙂
