Hardy Street - (painting like effect)

This is not an painting. The effect is applied with Lightroom pre-set that I have obtained free from internet in while ago.
We have many artist living in the region and you can find many exhibitions at gallery or even at some of the cafe.

Ben, How Are Your Guitar Lessons Coming Along?

Ben got guitar lessons last Christmas. (Well, in March actually.) I've only heard him practice once. (I heard him say "Eh? Eh? Eh?" repeatedly; it's a Christchurch, NZ-based program.)

And because I'm so impatient, he's already got the first of this year's presents last night: a couple of Son House CDs. Talk about music transporting you to another time and place...

Apparently there are 58 days left for shopping before Christmas. But we don't mind early/late pressies!

Afternoon

One beautiful afternoon at the Queen's Gardens.

Very Economical

Yes, but may be not practical. I love this as an art work, BTW.

Caution: Enter If You Dare

At the toy shop.

Golf Course

Atomic

A long-blcak at the Morrison Street Cafe in one afternoon. I had a little sip to see the logo. Have a nice day!

Blackout

From 8:20 to 10:10 last night, a large part of the region lost power, and the airport runway and Nelson Pines were all we could see. The last of the airplanes arrive around 8:30, so by the time I switched off the flash and aimed again, the runway lights were turned off for the evening.

It was very quiet until for some reason people started driving around. "For what reason?", Daniel asked Anna-Marie in another part of town. We thought of playing a board game, but instead ended up rummaging through my sewing box by candle light for Ben's next car project.

A Little Concert

After the parade, there was a little concert for everyone to enjoy! Dan Hendrick wore the late Kim Merry's suit from the 70's. Kim was the guy behind a lot of Nelson events, the Masked Parade in particular. Kim passed away in August.

The girls are Liz and Katrina of The Nancies.

Musicians too!
