Trolly Derby (Free Popsicle)

Free Popsicle for everyone. We have main race after this but I had to back to the work. Oh, well. So this is the end of series for 2008 from me.

You can find few more photo from the event here at my other blog:
1, 2, 3, 4

Trolly Derby (Professional!?)

It has no engine, just a shell, but looks so professional with proper cart shell with the full face helmet on.

Trolly Derby (Speed)

This one goes faster and it's red! (Another shot)

Trolly Derby (Look!)

Watch out in front of you! Well, the adult was with this boy all the way to the goal. This boy was so cute, but I choose this photo to hide true identity. (I really want to show others, but I couldn't talk to his parents.) I believe this is safe to post here.
My another favourite

Trolly Derby (Start Line)

There are two start line. One on front is for children, while the adult (main race) was start from further up. (No not running at same time...) The slope looks flat on this picture, but actually it has more angle. It's an illusion because I had to take from relatively high from the ground.

Trolly Derby (Main Stand)

Yesterday, we had this FUN annual event. Unfortunately, I had to work at office but the course is just 5 minutes walk from the office. I missed most of photogenic part except special stage for kids, but I managed few show during my extended lunch brake. Let's see what I've got for next few days and start from the main stand (Actually at the finish line).

Kite Surfing (Again)

Yet another kite surfing picture here.
Today, we have annual trolley derby and I'm stuck at my office. I hope I can be there before all the show is over.

My Hand, My Camera, and Sand

This one is for me. I love that the sand looks at once like a swept Japanese garden, and a shimmery piece of textile. Weekend's coming, but B has to work. *&^%$!

Ouch!

Well, it's a stick on decoration to the window. It looked real in the distance. I've seen bottom half of cat sticking from the boot/trunk before, but this is a fresh one. I kind a liked this one.

Kite Surfing

He's sailing on extremely shallow water.

Cathedral Bell Tower

Nelson Cathedral Bell Tower, photographed one year ago yesterday. This is as close to a sky scraper as it gets in Nelson.

Air NZ

An Air NZ domestic flight just fly away from Nelson Air Port. I took this at Tahunanui beach when it just passed by over my head.

Water Wheel

This is at the Queens Garden, made out of 50,000 year old kauri from Dargaville.
Other view in here (1 , 2 , 3).

March Theme Day: Graffiti or Street Mural

This is the "Knowledge Mural" by Chris Finlayson (1990). According to the City Council's trusty art map: "It's based on rock carvings, from Palaeolithic art in 25,000BC to Egyptian hieroglyphics (1350BC), Celtic verse (800AD), to Aboriginal and Maori art."
You can find this at the corridor of the Nelson Public Library.
