I have been having issues with my hasselblad 500cm as it seems to focus behind the target.
Ground glass, mirror and film packs seem ok but it still happens. So I had to spend a lot of time trying to salvage some images as it missed focus on +80 images.
In 1965 the average age of first use of alcohol was 17 years. In 2003 the average had fallen to 14 years of age.
As usual, drinking Puerh tea and other dangerous substances with my friends. But sorry, there is no booze here. Straight from the cameraphone - no editing.
I ordered what I thought would be a hot chocolate, but this was thicker and richer than the typical hot chocolate drink. I love chocolate, but I must admit that this was too rich for me and I ended up adding some hot water to dilute it a bit.

Fondé en 1863, l’hôtel Cardrona est l’un des plus anciens hôtels de Nouvelle-Zélande et l’un des deux derniers bâtiments de l’époque de la ruée vers l’or de la vallée de Cardrona. Cardrona était alors un règlement prospère et un centre commercial important pour la région. Pendant cette période, l’hôtel - l’un des quatre du canton - a proposé un hébergement, des services de livraisons et une halte hébergement pour les voyageurs itinérants. La façade historique de l’hôtel est représentative de cette ville maintenant disparue et fait partie intégrante de l’histoire de la Nouvelle-Zélande.
Established in 1863, the Cardrona Hotel is one of New Zealand’s oldest hotels, and is one of only two remaining buildings from the Cardrona Valley gold rush era. In it's hey-day Cardrona was a prosperous settlement and significant commercial hub for the area. During this period the hotel - one of four in the township - offered accommodation, livery services and an accommodation stop for itinerant travellers. The historic hotel facade is representative of this now vanished town and is an important part of New Zealand’s history.
Années 1860 / THE GOLD RUSH
La colonie de Cardrona a débuté dans les années 1860 alors que des centaines de prospecteurs affluaient dans la région à la recherche du rêve des mineurs. Le mot d'or dans les collines a rapidement voyagé et au bout de trois ans, un règlement prospère s'était développé. L’hôtel Cardrona a été construit à cette époque et était l’un des quatre hôtels de la commune. Il proposait un hébergement, des services de livraisons et une halte de coaching pour les mineurs d’or et les voyageurs itinérants.
1860s / THE GOLD RUSH
The Cardrona settlement began in the 1860s as hundreds of prospectors flocked to the area chasing the miners dream. Word of gold in the hills quickly travelled and within three years a prosperous settlement had developed. The Cardrona Hotel was built during this time and was one of four hotels in the township, offering accommodation, livery services and a coaching-stop for gold miners and itinerant travellers.
Années 1890 / FIN DE L'ÈRE
Cardrona est restée une plaque tournante commerciale importante dans les années 1870 et 1880, bien que sa fortune se soit affaiblie à mesure que l'élan initial du boom de l'or a rapidement diminué. Certains hommes sont restés et, bien que les activités minières soient terminées, une petite colonie d'agriculteurs élevant du bétail a persisté à Cardrona jusqu'au XXe siècle. Dans les années 1890, il ne restait que les hôtels Cardrona et All Nations, ainsi que deux magasins et un forgeron. Avec une pénurie de bois dans la région, la plupart des bâtiments sains restants ont été transportés vers le canton grandissant de Pembroke, renommé plus tard Wanaka.
1890s / END OF AN ERA
Cardrona remained a significant commercial hub through the 1870s and 1880s, although its fortunes waned as the initial momentum of the gold boom quickly dwindled. Some men stayed on and although the mining days were over, a small settlement of farmers raising cattle persisted in Cardrona well into the 20th century. By the 1890s only the Cardrona Hotel and the All Nations Hotel remained, along with two stores and a blacksmiths. With a shortage of timber in the area, most of the remaining sound buildings were transported to the growing township of Pembroke, later renamed Wanaka.
Années 1920-1961 / LES JOURS JIMMY PATTERSON
En 1926, James Patterson a acheté l'hôtel et est devenu une légende locale. Patterson, connu sous le nom de Jimmy, était propriétaire de cet hôtel jusqu'à sa mort en 1961, à l'âge de 91 ans, ce qui en faisait le plus ancien servant de publicain à Cardrona. Il était célèbre pour son attitude à servir de l'alcool, contrôlant la quantité que ses clients pouvaient boire en fonction de la direction qu'ils prenaient. Les hommes qui voyagent dans la zone dangereuse du Crown Range n'ont droit qu'à un verre, tandis que ceux qui se rendent à Wanaka en ont le droit (Jimmy a préféré ne pas vendre d'alcool aux femmes).
1920s-1961 / THE JIMMY PATTERSON DAYS
In 1926 James Patterson purchased the hotel and became a local legend. Patterson, known as Jimmy, owned the hotel until his death in 1961 at the age of 91, making him the longest serving publican in Cardrona. He was famous for his attitude to serving alcohol, controlling the amount his patrons could drink depending on which direction they were travelling. Men travelling over the treacherous Crown Range were only allowed one drink, while those travelling to Wanaka were allowed two (Jimmy preferred not to sell any alcohol to women).
Années 1960 / HEURE DE CLÔTURE
La Commission des licences avait imposé au permis d'alcool de l'hôtel une condition interdisant sa vente au pub. Donc, quand Jimmy Patterson est décédé en 1961 à l'âge de 91 ans, l'hôtel a été fermé de façon permanente. Pour éviter que le produit ne soit vendu à un "étranger", le reclus local Jack Galvin a acheté le bâtiment, qui s'est rapidement détérioré. Inquiet pour l’état de cet hôtel historique, le fermier et entrepreneur John Card de la vallée de Cardrona a acheté l’hôtel en 1970.
1960s / CLOSING TIME
The Licensing Commission had imposed a condition on the hotel's liquor licence that it could not be sold with the pub. So, when Jimmy Patterson passed away in 1961 at age 91, the hotel was closed permanently. To avoid it being sold to an 'outsider', local recluse Jack Galvin purchased the building and it was left to quickly deteriorate. Concerned for the state of the historic hotel, local Cardrona Valley farmer and entrepreneur John Lee purchased the hotel in 1970.
Années 1980 / LA RESTAURATION
L’hôtel a ensuite été vendu aux habitants de Wanaka, Rosemary et Eddie Jones, désireux de s’acquitter de la tâche colossale qui consiste à restaurer les bâtiments abandonnés. Sans leur travail acharné et leur enthousiasme, le bâtiment aurait probablement été démoli. Le restaurant a ouvert ses portes en 1983 et le Jones's a commencé à servir un goûter d'après-ski, qui a marqué le début de la légendaire expérience d'après-ski du Cardrona Hotel. Les Jones ont vendu l'hôtel après 14 ans et il y a eu 4 autres propriétaires depuis. Mark Wescott, basé au Royaume-Uni, a ajouté le bloc d'hébergement de 14 chambres d'hôtel en 2002.
1980s / THE RESTORATION
The hotel was then sold to Wanaka locals Rosemary and Eddie Jones who were keen to take on the mammoth task of restoring the derelict buildings. Without their hard work and enthusiasm the building would likely have been demolished. The restaurant opened in 1983 and the Jones's started serving an after ski high tea, which marked the beginning of Cardrona Hotel's legendary Apres Ski experience. The Jones's sold the hotel after 14 years and there have been 4 more owners since. UK-based Mark Wescott added the accommodation block housing 14 hotel rooms in 2002.
2013 - / L'HÔTEL AUJOURD'HUI
L’hôtel est actuellement la propriété de Cade Thornton et James Jenneson, devenus des partenaires d’affaires. Les deux hommes se sont rendus au pub lors d'un voyage à Queenstown à l'hiver 2012. Ils ont été tellement séduits par le pub historique qu'en février 2013, ils étaient fiers de posséder une tranche de l'histoire des kiwis. Depuis leur arrivée à la barre, Cade et James se sont attachés à améliorer l’offre de bars et de restaurants, à entretenir les bâtiments et les terrains et à donner à ce monument emblématique tout l’amour et les soins qu’il mérite.
2013 - / THE HOTEL TODAY
The hotel is currently owned by friends-turned-business-partners Cade Thornton and James Jenneson. The pair visited the pub on a road trip to Queenstown in the winter of 2012. They were so taken by the historic pub that by February 2013 they were the proud new owners of a slice of Kiwi history. Since taking the helm, Cade and James have focused on improving the bar and restaurant offering, maintaining the buildings & grounds and giving this iconic landmark the love and care it deserves.

Sitting on a rooftop restaurant in New Delhi’s Paharganj district. The chaos of the Main Bazaar reduced to a hum. Western backpackers – busy in their dinners – sitting all around. Drinking Corona; its vapors making the mind dizzy. Just started with The Brother Karamazov.
Will someone share my table?
"It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry. 'No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if your hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later."

P.S.: I am not implying that Coke is poison. I love Diet Coke. The image, however, conjured up that passage from Alice in Wonderland.

I made this video several years ago but have yet to figure out what this guy was up to.
I watched it drink water for 10 or 20 minutes, and the whole time it was drinking and excreting water in quantities that seemed to exceed its body weight over the period of time I watched it.
Any ideas why it would do that?
