I think thats tonights efforts.

Did anyone else see tonights *beautiful* pink sunset?

I was too gobsmacked to get my camera tho, but boy it was something!

I'll start a "Tim comes visiting" thread in a week or so, planning my visit. At this stage i'll probably try and plan something for late afternoon or early evening and probably not going for too long. Places to see, people to do!

Wazza · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

This will be a laugh.

How will you fit us in around your busy schedule with ladies?

tim · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

Actually there's only one lady... and I might bring her with me!

Wazza · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

Didn't know where to share this, so here's where I was earlier Saturday evening.

yes I saw it, the whole sky out west was orange, then look out east and there was 1/4 of a rainbow leading in to the refection of the sunset.

the worst part was I was down the back padock loading bales of hay and my camera was up in my room. By the time the camera was delivered to me it was all gone

nice. The photos aren't to bad either

MattL · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

Yeah i didnt bother going to get my camera, i knew by the time i got it it would have gone.

Where do you live simon? age / occupation?

forsaken · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

on a small farm in Dairy Flat ( a few minutes north of Albany) work as an underpaid CNC machinist, physical age 28 mental age of about 12

MattL · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

Neato.

Ok, I think im gona plan for next weekend, saturday perhaps, another trip to bridal veil falls. I need more!

Can I get a rough idea of who would be interested in coming? We can all split gas money, and abseil lessons / trips would be $50/ person to cover ropes etc etc.

Wazza · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

I'm busy this weekend. Got an engagement party to photograph.

::John:: · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

I am thinking $50 a head to jump off a cliff is quite a good bargain. They charged me $180 to jump out of an aeroplane over Whenuapai.

(15 minutes to get up there, 3 minutes to come down

)

MattL · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

Yup, It is a bargin your right. The two girls we gave lessons to said it would be worth about $125 /head for them. Which sounds about right. This is a POTN only offer - I will be charging more for others.

Warren if your interested in doing the abseil, we can arrange another time that might suit you better?

MattL · 23rd of January 2006 (Mon)

I will even provide my camera on the abseil so you can take photos without risking you camera. just bring a CF card.

I knew somebody had to get tonights sunset :
