Thanks for the positive comments.
Yes,...Dear Robb<br /><br />Thanks for the positive comments.<br /><br />Yes, pretty interesting the links with the past and whether or not we're tuned into them. I've always figured they're worth listening to.<br /><br />Hoping you get away with your eldest, but won't hold my breathe as it's so unsettled.<br /><br />I'll check out your two blogger friends thanks.

Sensational photos with the light...Kia ora Donald,<br /> Sensational photos with the light and essence of the country. There are a few places in the Ruhaine where I sleep restlessly. Not in a bad way, but in a way where I am very aware of the voices and connections to the past. Just the way it is.<br /> Have had to put off a trip with my oldest son this week as the weather ws just too wild and unsettled, so we are leaving now Ruahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-90152015572260470152010-12-21T17:42:55.533+13:002010-12-21T17:42:55.533+13:00Dear Marg

I would have thought an encore and good cheer would have gone a long way in those days!<br /><br />I have it in my brain you're not in Dunedin right now, but in the US, or have I got this wrong?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DonaldDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514655834785883306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-68745225358090624532010-12-21T17:37:55.108+13:002010-12-21T17:37:55.108+13:00I love the story of the poor minister who arrived ...I love the story of the poor minister who arrived to find his flock drunk.

It must exist, but takes time.<br /><br />I'm a great fan of the concept 'OK I've got the light, now where is the subject?' I think Galen Rowel said this.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DonaldDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514655834785883306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-20086327228027599612010-12-21T16:59:52.345+13:002010-12-21T16:59:52.345+13:00Hi Shirley

Maybe they either built them so well they've outlasted all, or they were isolated deliberately.<br /><br />All the best for Xmas to you also.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DonaldDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514655834785883306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-14717701086021916202010-12-21T16:56:48.663+13:002010-12-21T16:56:48.663+13:00Dear Deirdre

Admittedly, it was older, probably 13th or 14th century, but it was hard to imagine that there would have been any other buildings up there.Shirley Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479768160284996206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-89685392130818462372010-12-20T17:27:25.881+13:002010-12-20T17:27:25.881+13:00Lovely photos as ever, Donald - they make your rea...Lovely photos as ever, Donald - they make your readers feel like they are there in the landscape.<br /><br />Very best wishes for a pleasant and safe Christmas break.Shirley Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479768160284996206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-18915080282237008322010-12-20T13:54:49.621+13:002010-12-20T13:54:49.621+13:00What a marvellous trip Donald - photos are fantast...What a marvellous trip Donald - photos are fantastic.Had no idea there was a church out there!<br />DeirdreDeirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157052313838034798noreply@blogger.com
