Continuing the winter theme
Recently while out early one morning I had to walk past the Wanaka Public Library, and while this was a hazardous journey due to the prevalence of ice, it seems someone left the irrigation system on all night...
And delightfully our Govt. has backed down over mining in our National Parks. Well done, and a special thanks to Wanaka local Quentin Smith who organised the FaceBook group Hands off Mt Aspiring NP

Hi I have just stumbled onto your blog and I love the hoar frost shots. I was in your area 2 weeks ago but I'm home in Western Australia now.
We were hoping to see a big frost to get some shots but the best we could do was minus 5 around Arrowtown..
Check out my blog to see what I managed to capture.

I'll be keeping an eye on your blog.
Kia ora Donald,
Oh the hazards of winter, beautiful though. That is good news about the mining, and the power of combined voices, and even the words we put out here in the blogosphere. I can't help but think of Edward Abbey stating that even if people do not go the wilderness, deserts, mountains, ect., that at least knowing they are there connects us to the wild and that is the real value of wilderness. Maybe slowly more of us are getting our heads around that. Still, no time for complaceny, sort of like we have poked a large hungry bear who will be back. Heading to the mountains on Sunday/Monday when I get this bloody work finished!
Cheers,
Robb
Hi Merv
Thanks for your comment. Pity you missed the best [or worst] of it. However I really like the one you've made of the Arrowtown Golf Links.
I'm going to subscribe to your blog, so keep up the good work.
Cheers
Donald
Hi Robb
You write of words of truth. Yes, the price of freedom is constant vigilance - someone more astute than myself stated this once.
We must keep raising awareness with our writings, stories and images. Bringing emotion into the beauty that surrounds even our every day lives can help. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Cheers
Donald
Thanks Donald. Not quite as easy as wordpress to post a reply here but I'll keep watching your posts.
Cheers
Merv.
