A Week Among Giants

10 days in Mt. Cook national park: Alright, I guess I should add some words for the first time in a long while. Yes, I’m still alive. Tomorrow I get on a plane for a week in Tahiti. At that time, I’m going to book my flight home, sometime around May 15 give or take. […]

Six Weeks of Life…

If a photo is worth a thousand words, then here are 22 thousand words for the last six weeks of my life. In reality though, no words can can do justice to these days now gone…

Fresh Snow

The hills above Glenorchy and Kinloch got a fresh dusting last night. While I was working in the restaurant I kept standing in the doorway, watching the clouds dance their way across the peaks; light of the setting sun shining brilliantly, bringing the valley further and further into darkness, until only the final high summits […]
