Storms always make for beautiful sunsets. Too bad we don’t have as many summer storms in San Diego as they have in Florida...

Actually an after thought shot through my truck window, wasn't even sure I'd captured it until after arriving home.

(3 edits in all) | Dec 16, 2020 22:31 | #1431 Well, over here it's summer and also the location for the latest Americas Cup yachting races, the precursors of which are going on right now. We are fortunate to be in the position of living life as normal, with no community COVID transmission for months and consequently no limitations on gathering or movements. Our economy has bounced back and our GDP, after a 3% dip, has bounded back way beyond expectations, thanks to Kiwis holidaying in the country instead of going overseas, or buying big-ticket items instead of travel. Again the challenge is foreign access - right now, in Auckland we have 14 container ships sitting in the roadstead waiting for an opportunity to dock. In desperation they sent one container ship 250km up the coast to another port and have been running a shuttle service of container trucks, leaving every 6 minutes to come to Auckland - and that is going on for a week "All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow", Leo Tolstoy;

Tronhard Senior Member ![]() More info | Feb 01, 2021 02:52 | #1433 I was out for a walk and was surprised to see the moon riding high in the sky, despite the sun being well up. So I just tried my luck hand-held as I stood on the sidewalk. I actually rather like the blue hue of the whole thing, I must admit.

Tronhard Senior Member ![]() More info Post edited 26 days ago by Tronhard. | Feb 02, 2021 17:38 | #1436 I went to Muriwai Beach, just west of Auckland to shoot images of the last gannets nesting there, before they fly 2,000km+ to Australia. However I also caught some activity from the local surf lifesaving group doing some training: Some trainees head along to the surf on the rocks to the left of the first image The Decisive Moment: Leap of faith Bad Timing - there is a swimmer in the middle of all that!

Tronhard Senior Member ![]() More info | Feb 04, 2021 17:31 | #1437 Out for a morning constitutional I caught this Pipit (NZ Pihoihioi) on the side of the path. Like most birds they are inclined to flit often, so I shot from where I first saw it - thus the image is quite heavily cropped. Nevertheless, it seems to come out well enough. Amazing optic in this lens and fast, accurate focusing. "All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow", Leo Tolstoy;
