You asked for it, so you got it.
About
From the vault.
OK, you you wanted to see more black and white landscapes... well here is one from the vault, as I've been very busy with paid work lately, so shooting for fun has taken a back seat.
Don't worry, some free weekends are coming up!
This was taken some months ago, early in the morning, power lines have been removed.
See the same tree here.
Enjoy.

Sundays are for Washing and doing the Hoovering.
About
A recent trip out with friends, scouting and what not. I love how the rain can bee seen coming in over the sea, makes for really neat colours at dawn. I always head out even if it looks wet.
I've been going through my NZ music collection lately, and I've always loved The Exponents. See below for more info.
Enjoy.

About The Exponents
The Exponents are a New Zealand rock group. They formed in 1981 as the Dance Exponents, after vocalist Jordan Luck and guitarist Brian Jones disbanded their first group, Basement, and relocated from the South Canterbury town of Timaru to Christchurch. The other founding members were David (Chalkie) Gent (bass), Steve (Fingers) Cowan (guitar) and Michael (Harry) Harralambi (drums). A residency at Christchurch's Aranui Tavern quickly earned them a strong reputation, and they were signed by Mushroom Records in 1982.
Cowan subsequently died as a result of a pre-existing medical condition. Some time later, Chris Sheehan joined the band on guitar. After releasing two albums in New Zealand, the band moved to Britain in 1987, where they were a popular draw for expatriate New Zealanders (and sometimes Australians and South Africans) and attracted A&R interest, but did not gain a record contract. They eventually returned to New Zealand and in dropped the "Dance" from their name in 1991, registering a shift in their style of music.
The group has always been based around the writing (and on stage antics) of mainstay Jordan Luck. Along with the above, members have included Bryan Bell, Mark Bell, Martin Morris and David Barraclough.
Their major hits, including "Why Does Love Do This To Me", "Who Loves Who The Most", "Victoria", "I'll Say Goodbye (Even Tho' I'm Blue)" and "Whatever Happened To Tracy" have been taken up by successive generations of younger New Zealanders some, with social commentators going so far as to say that an Exponents concert forms a rite of passage for New Zealand youth.
The band continued to tour New Zealand occasionally until 2006, often playing provincial towns as well as main centres, but Luck now tours with his own band, Luck, playing Exponents songs and new compositions. They reportedly once decided to tour every New Zealand town with a KFC, not due to their love of chicken, but because they trusted KFC's market research and reasoned these towns must contain enough youth to fill up their gigs.
The Exponents have opened for acts such as The Rolling Stones, KISS and David Bowie on their respective New Zealand tours.

Almost a Year.
About
Muttonbird Island, Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia.
I've had this shot in my 'to be uploaded' for almost a year now, its very similar to this shot (uploaded last Christmas). I still have no idea who that guy is ;)
This was taken way back when I first started dabbling with HDR. Anyhow its been in my upload folder for way too long, so....

About Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour is a coastal city located on the north coast of New South Wales about 540 km north of Sydney, 385 km north of Newcastle, and 440 km south of Brisbane. The region has a wintertime population of over 70,000 people that swells to 100,000 in the vacation seasons. Popular with people wanting to relocate from big cities to small towns on the coast or in rural areas, Coffs Harbour continues to grow at an exceptional rate, with a population projection of 80,000 by the year 2016. According to the CSIRO, Coffs Harbour has the most livable climate in Australia, and it is nestled between a high mountain backdrop and dozens of 'unspoiled' beaches. Coffs Harbour's economy is based mainly on farming (of bananas), tourism, and manufacturing.

About Weather
Weather is a set of all the phenomena occurring in a given atmosphere at a given time. Weather phenomena lie in the troposphere. Weather refers, generally, to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time.[4] When used without qualification, "weather" is understood to be the weather of Earth.
Weather occurs due to density (temperature and moisture) differences between one place and another. These differences can occur due to the sun angle at any particular spot, which varies by latitude from the tropics. The strong temperature contrast between polar and tropical air gives rise to the jet stream. Weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as extratropical cyclones, are caused by instabilities of the jet stream flow. Because the Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane, sunlight is incident at different angles at different times of the year. On Earth's surface, temperatures usually range ±40 °C annually. Over thousands of years, changes in Earth's orbit affect the amount and distribution of solar energy received by the Earth and influence long-term climate.
