Thread: Road pics

All this talk of shootin' reminded me of a photo I took of a speed limit billboard a few years back.





Taken in the same area Mt Ruapehu.
Central Plateau of the North Island of New Zealand. Our most active mainland volcano.

So which island of New Zillund is "the main" land?

Well Mick.
NZ is a bit literal in it's naming.

The 'indigenous' Maori people named it "Aotearoa" - the Land of the Long White Cloud
Captain Cook followed this simple pattern and went with North & South Islands for the 2 main land masses.

The "Mainland" is what the South Islanders also refer to their island as.

The West Islanders also have an alternate name for their island...

I haven't seen anything posted here for quite a while. I thought it was high time to breathe some life into it. It was so nice here today I went on a short road trip. Just a fifty mile round trip with the dog as co-pilot.

I miss being able to see the off-the-beaten-track photos. I made sure I put in a beef critter for Wullie!! Heck, I have no excuse not to go out and showcase some of the cool things around here. Like I mentioned, this was fifty miles, round trip from home. I already asked my son if he wants to go for a ride tomorrow or the next day. Try to take a picture on crutches, holding a very eager dog on a leash!!

Next trip will be, Smartsville CA, just up from Timbuctoo, or up the Feather River Canyon.

I'll now post some more from today!!

Here's some pictures from today, more than six on one post seemed a bit much!!
for some reason, there are quite a few random palm trees out in rice country

a goofy hawk sitting twenty feet in front of me!

Love that Hawk. I see them everyday on my way to my son's school, gotta get some pics.
