Epstein makes his mark

As part of my camera club's effort to promote the Waimak region for next year's PSNZ Southern Convention (we're hosting it), they have decided to create a video. And whom might you ask is one of the stars?
Based loosely around the ABS ads featuring Goldstein & Sir, this take is of "Epstein" and Sir... no prizes who that might be.
Started off well but towards the end Epstein started making demands his trailer wasn't big enough and he wanted a PA. I tell you!

Polar bears of the weather

Yes we've had a polar blast and it's meant fires and hot toddies and nice big stews and casseroles. We tasted a very nice 18% alc. boysenberry wine today. I kept thinking how nice it would have been if warmed up.
There has been a fair amount of snow thrown about up here and we drove to Mt Grey and Lake Janet to get a better look. Lake Janet was just begging to be photographed but boy it was tricky to get the right exposure. Low light meant tripod but you can see why I had to endure the cold to get the pic.
Off to French Farm tomorrow and if the weather holds we hope to walk up to Pulpit Rock. A really cool volcanic dome on Banks Peninsula. Camera goes too. Expect mud and more mud and if it aint snowy, Rog will run up.
