Actually New Zealand. Choice!

I shot this minute-long video on a digital camera on October 18th, driving down from Hamilton to Wellington. The quality was actually higher and surprisingly good but loading it onto YouTube has put it through some sort of crude, automated compression that has created the blocky effect.

Vancouver II

So my blog has fallen straight into the classic problem of not being updated. I get it all set up and then - two weeks go by in silence. Here at least are a second and final installment of pictures of Vancouver. I took way too many photos in a very short space of time so this is just a selection, ample though it is! Click on them for a full size (600x450 pixel version). Now these have been made web-sized I can make a start of my pictures of New Zealand!
