Lunar Eclipse 2011

The skies were clear for this morning's total lunar eclipse. I took the following photos using a Nikon D40 with a 105 mm lens handheld. 

Max's Gallipoli blog

My son Max has just created his first blog! It's all about the First World War battle of Gallipoli.

The devil is in the details

I'm not sure why but I quite like looking out for potential public stuff ups of a slightly amusing nature. I spotted this one out of my office window. (To be fair I think they just had the sign upside down so that they could attached some mounting feet.)

ISS and Shuttle flyby

I photographed the International Space Station and the STS-118 as they orbited over Dunedin at around 6:30 am on the 21st August. The ISS is the brighter object. Photo details: Canon A530. 15 second exposure.

Comet McNaught

Something's not right alright

I nearly drove onto the footpath when I spotted this recently painted road marking!

My broken leg

Doctor told me I had a screw loose!
This is an xray of my right tibia and fibula taken last year. Was hit by a car whilst riding bicycle. Broke leg and both left and right radius bones. Doctors removed the loose screw - just got the rod and the two screws just below my knee now.
