Russell, Oke Bay, Cabbage Tree Hut. All nu zelun.
Mosque shootings in NZ? It’s a sad time for my country. I really don’t have any words for it.
New from Christos.
I’m in Sussex, UK – with a bunch of cool folks from the Shuttleworth Foundation. We are writing a book (facilitated by Barbara from Book Sprints) on the Shuttleworth Fellowship.
The place is beautiful – Ridge Farms. It was once a recording studio and has been used by Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, David Bowie and the Tin Machine, Little Richard, The Beat, Sade, Flock of Seagulls and many many more…now it’s a retreat centre for groups.
I’m also taking some photos with my new camera to see how it works… lots to learn… below are some simple shots taken with no color correction and default/auto settings. Images link to a ‘lightbox’ display (click on each).
Added a few more from the second day…
