The Holidays

Here's some pics from where I spent my 'holidays' last summer.

I won't be spending my this summer there.

Sadly.

The Angel

Day two in the Ahuriri, being a public holiday, Nic decided we were going to go for a walk. Up a mountain. Actually it was to the Dingle Burn Saddle, then along the ridge a bit. Tiring but stunning views.

Being early January, there was snow about.

And when there's snow, there's snow angels.

And when there's snow angels, there's people with wet and freezing backs, legs, and bums.

For future reference, thin layers of really icy snow don't make for great snow angels. (Photo of me by Nic.)

And another angle.

And there's some other idiot giving it a go. (Photo of Nic by me - acting the part of prima donna photographer on a commercial shoot.)

The Cheek

When I took this shot, it accompanied the statement that it wasn’t for public consumption. Needless to say I complained, briefly. And consequently ignored the suggestion.

Though in keeping with the aforementioned request, I have done a wee PhotoShop job on the image – see if you can tell where.

Consequently I can state that the photo may or may not be of a person, who may or may not be gainfully employed, and may or may not have been photographed doing something, that while it isn’t inherently bad, it may or may not be a portrayal preferred by the employers of the person who they may or may not have gainfully employed, and who may or may not be in the photo.

PS: if you could see the unretouched image you’d probably crack up as much as I did - once you work out what you’re looking at.
