We went to Sumner late in the afternoon it had been a lovely hot sunny day but things changed fast a strong wind picked up and the sand was blowing along the beach with force.. it really hurt and you had to put your back to it! January 5,2014 Sumner Christchurch New Zealand.

Sumner is nestled in a coastal valley separated from the adjacent city suburbs by rugged volcanic hill ridges that end in cliffs that descend to the sea shore in places. Sumner Bay is the first bay on the northern side of Banks Peninsula and faces Pegasus Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Because of its ocean exposure, a high surf can form in some swell conditions. The beach is gently sloping, with fine grey sand. It is a popular surf beach for these reasons.
Sand dunes have filled the river valley behind the beach. This has made housing construction relatively easy, although flooding at the head of the valley has been a problem in the past due to the reverse slope caused by the sand dunes filling the front of the valley. This has been addressed by a flood drain.
The rocky volcanic outcrop of Cave Rock dominates the beach. Until the mid-1860s, the feature was known as Cass Rock, after the surveyor Thomas Cass.[9] There are other rocky outcrops in the area and the volcanic nature of the geology is readily apparent from several of the exposed cliffs around the valley.
A sea wall and wide esplanade have been built along the length of the beach to prevent coastal erosion.

Changed the Hetres to Pari Motos (the Hetres lasted >4000 miles!), ripped the pockets off the sides of the bag, replaced Candy pedals with Eggbeater 11s.
You can't see it here, but I'm also using a top secret 50 g 650B tube. So far they've gone 1600 miles without a puncture, the last 400-500 under the delicate Pari Motos.
Sadly, Poltz is almost too big for the changing table. What a fatty.
This is where Poltz hangs out during the day. It's a real good time to enter the nursery with a crying baby who wants his diaper changed in one hand and have to shoo away a 17 lb. cat with the other.

I haven't been posting because my brain is tied up in redecorating the bedroom. This duvet cover from Dwell Studio caught my eye while I was at Target the other day and started the whole process. My previous photo must have been my inspiration- probably because I was so excited it made Explore the image was stuck in my brain. I have lots to finish up and will post more photos when it's completed. :)

Old buildings associated with the fishing industy were often painted with red ochre, hydrated iron oxide -- deposits of the pigment occur naturally around the island of Newfoundland, and it was mixed with fish oil* to make paint. These red buildings abound on Change Islands off Newfoundland's coast.
*According to Wikipedia: The dry ingredient, ochre, was mixed with some type of liquid raw material to create a rough paint. The liquid material was usually seal oil or cod liver oil in Newfoundland and Labrador, while Scandinavian recipes sometimes called for linseed oil. Red ochre paint was sometimes prepared months in advance and allowed to sit, and the smell of ochre paint being prepared is still remembered by many today.
Variations in local recipes, shades of ore, and type of oil used resulted in regional variations in color. Because of this, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact shade or hue of red that would be considered the traditional “fishing stage red”. Oral tradition in the Bonavista Bay area maintains that seal oil would give a purer red color, while cod liver oil would give a “foxy” color, browner in hue.
In a very short time the chrysalis (6-8 hours in this case) changes from green to the colors of a Monarch.
This is a quote that I remind myself of often at work. I took photos of signs around town then used photoshop to crop the letters and words to create a poster for a project.

As I have mentioned previously, I am a fan of architecture in many forms - Roman to modern. This building is on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin, and I came across it while on a solo photowalk this past summer. It is interesting how photography makes you look at things differently than you did before you caught the bug - and even look at things you would never waste a glance on before. In this case, I was really enjoying all the different patterns, colors and textures in this scene though as a college student I walked by this building probably every day and never noticed any of it. I guess photography really does change you - or at least change what you look at. Which reminds me of a quote from Wayne Dyer that I am a fan of: "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change". So true.

Another selfportrait .. sorry ๏̯͡๏)
Don't have much time to take pictures at the moment. I will stay in my town but in a month i share an appartement with my best girlfriend. We move into a very large accomodation and i am very excited about it. Now i have to arrange a lot of things, which means a lot of stress in the next weeks.
After i came home from work, i took my camera and tripod and went to the garden behind my apartment building. I just had a few minutes until the sun hides behind the near building. Here I used my new NIKKOR 85 mm 1:1,8D, i really like this lens.
We change of environment: We leave the forest and its tall green trees to enter the world of the savannah with its baobabs raising their nude branches. People are also different: from the Akan living in the forest we now discover populations which have left centuries the hearth of Sahel. We follow the ancient caravan road through which goods, people and their goods traveled for centuries. Gold dust and cola nuts were brought from the forest and exchanged for salt, cloth and spices coming from the North.
Sometimes people settled on the way hence the many mosques of a Sudanese architecture found on the caravan road as this style was imported from the internal delta of the River Niger (Mali). The lines, the vaults and the volumes of those small sized mosques are very well balanced.
wow.... Laine really knows how to push my buttons!!!
yesterdays page was emotional enough for me but this morning has been a roller coaster.
I really love the page and how it looks, and now that i have finished the journalling I am happy with it, but actually doing the journalling took me forever because I had to keep stopping to see what I was writing where I was crying so much, or my hands were shaking too much to write, or i had to move away from the page because I didn't want my tears to fall on anything.
the photo is of my Grandad and Elsie, my youngest of 4. and the journalling says this:
A lot of things have changed since Nan passed away in May. All of our lives have been turned upside down and everyday is a struggle without her. BUt the one thing that hasn't changed is your love for the children. They need and love you as much as you do them. Forever and always xxx
thanks for looking xxxx
heres hoping for a nice easy, chilled out prompt for tomorrow lol
xxxxx
Change is ominous. Change is obvious and desirable.As abrupt as it can be, the more appeal can it bring. And what else can bring it faster than the wings? This photo was taken at the horticulture garden in Alipore, Kolkata. My most favorite photo of that day. I found myself lucky enough to get this moment, I was looking for so many months.
Take a better look in black
