Until I can get to grips with how to post images so they show up normal size... the first two are Auckland, the third is Mt Ruapehu (in the summer, hence lack of snow). |

Re: NZ Photo Thread
Sorry guys now that Debs has shown me how to do this properly I think she may have created a monster:D . Here are a couple of photos that show my home town Rugby Stadium where The fabulous Crusaders play & the second one is of The Paul Kelly Dancers (Cheerleaders). The blonde girl at the front is my girlfriends daughter Cherie so Im particularly proud of that photo:D

One for KJP.
Like the office. No glass ceiling there!! :D Your 'mystery pic' is of Cap de la Hague, looking SE and Cherbourg can be seen too. Probably taken from around 30000ft I reckon. I'm only a learner pilot and don't do too much flying at those kinda heights in the Thruster and we don't do much channel crossing (Rotax failure over the water would be most unpleasant!!) :scared: . Once I get my wings I shall, no doubt be more adventurous. :) http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...owapproach.jpg You should Know this one! Regards |

Re: NZ Photo Thread
OK here's some more photos. These are all older ones that I have to scan, so the quality isn't quite as good, and it takes me longer to get them done.
I'll do some more later, I have to watch the Warratahs slaughter the Crusaders now... The first is a shot of Wellington Airport from overhead the Miramar Peninsula... http://www.viewthathouse.com/Britishexpats/Welly 01.gif Next is surf in Lyall Bay (just next to the airport)... http://www.viewthathouse.com/Britishexpats/Welly 02.gif This a a view of the city from Wrights Hill (behind Karori)... http://www.viewthathouse.com/Britishexpats/Welly 03.gif Wellington from overhead the Orongorongos... looking west...

Wasnt it Brilliant seeing all the records that the mighty Crusaders set when they WON & the Warratahs LOST. Yes I know the Warratahs made a great comeback but at the end of the day the scoreboard tells the story & so does the hardware in the Cabinet. Funny bhow as the supporter of A North Island team that didnt make the finals you would choose to support the Australian team rather than the NZ Team huh?:D |
