Trawlermen Sculpture
Photo of the Trawlermen Sculpture.Artist Alan Strathern's sculpture, dedicated to the commercial fishermen who toil at sea, came out of a curious financial story.
In 1973, the Municipal Electricity Department discovered that over many years it had overcharged for power supplied to New Zealand Cement Holdings Ltd. The financial tangle was unravelled, and the upshot was that the cement company and the power authority agreed to donate $10,000 of the overpayment to the Napier City Council to fund an artwork.
Initially, the life-like bronze was a feature of the forecourt at the Hawke's Bay Aquarium which opened in December 1976 at the southern end of the Parade. It was later relocated to its present site adjoining the aquarium when it reopened as the National Aquarium Of New Zealand in 2002.
From Invercargill, Alan Strathern graduated Diploma of Fine Arts, University of Canterbury, in 1969. He was awarded the Hansells Prize for Contemporary Sculpture in 1972.

Smiling faces of the innocent children from a Govt. High School in Laripora Kalan (Pahalgam), Kashmir. The kids were so keen and impatient to get their photos taken, pushing each other to stay in the frame. Some girls wore hijab and most boys wore pathan suit. They were laughing and having fun. It was tough clicking one child as everyone wanted their photo taken. They were enjoying more because it gave them time away from their classes. Special permission was taken from the school administration to shoot these children while studying, playing and other school activities. It turned out to be such a pleasure shooting such enthusiastic children and interacting with them!

Homer Tunnel.

When I was a lot younger I worked in this area and one of the things we used to do was knock the 1-1.5m icicles off the tunnel roof before traffic entered each day. The east portal end is at 945 m elevation; the tunnel runs 1270 m at approximately a 1:10 gradient down to the western portal.
Until it was sealed and enlarged it was the longest gravel-surfaced tunnel in the world.
The cabling along the right side was installed 10-12 years ago by the company I worked for at the time and provides power to the LED lights along the wall and at intervals along the roof as well as traffic lights at each end of the tunnel.

Ahhh Tokyo in the morning!
Freezing cold wind in 2014...
awoke to snow on our first morning in 2016 (it was mayhem in Shinjuku)
freezing cold in 2017 (convenience store fried chicken never tasted so good mmm),
and clear skies in 2018 with what I'd consider to be the best Fuji view from any place yet stayed in...
For the record, the convenience store fried chicken was also very nice during those other years.
Mt Fuji is around 100kms away!

Found a nikon point & shoot in a thrift store, the only one I know of that uses an android operating system. Little weird to use. I spent today seeing what sort of quality I could coax out of some cheap little cameras.

Ellis hut is the oldest hut in the Ruahine. Built in 1884, it briefly housed the murderer Jack Ellis, who was apprehended at this hut in 1904 and later hanged in Wellington.
I like to think this is the original door, it certainly looks like it has seen a few visitors.
