Bye, all!

[Octane]

Hi all,

Once more, I'm packing my bags and heading off to paradise for a few weeks. Yep, heading over to New Zealand again.

It's been a very long year and I've gone through a heap of crap in my personal life, as well as work keeping me more busy than it ought to!

So, I'm going to recharge my batteries and go for some long hikes into the wilderness, get back in touch with nature, and, remind myself about what's important in life.

The theme for this campaign is the floral landscape, although, I have a feeling that I might be going a bit early for the spring wildflowers.

Either way, I hope to return with the best pictures I've made in my life, thus far.

See you all when I get back in a few weeks.

Regards,
H

I wish you would have picked a better subject mate. I hate these bye threads always make me think someone has had it and is leaving for good. Sure glad that is not the case.

have a safe and great trip and I hope you find what you seek.

New Zealand is one of the most scenic places in the world.

It's been a good start, so far. Mum made me my favourite omelette -- with diced onions and fresh hot chilli. :eyepop:

Just waiting on my mate to chauffeur me to the airport. :D

H

[gbeal]

Can't think of a better place H, it is as cold as here at the moment, so pack some woolies.
Contact that guy I mentioned, he would be a great source of info, on many fronts.
Gary

[Liz]

meow.

Just checking in after 1 week away.

I've spent the last 3 days in Milford Sound and it has been incredible.

I just managed to get some Internet access for the first time in a while, so, thought I'd say hello. :)

I think I've taken one or two nice pictures. :)

H

[mishku]

[Mliss]

:lol: and i was just going to say "hi" ..."bye"

hope you're loving NZ, and like everyone else, can't wait to see pics and read your stories.

[Octane]

Hey Mish and Mel,

Cheers!

I'm having a great time. I am really dreading going back to work. I have really needed this break and feel rejuvenated even if I'm not sleeping all that much. :P

Can't wait to move here one day!

At Kinloch at the moment. Weather's a bit meh so am staying in for a bit. Will see if it gets better around sunset in 30 minutes or so and then head down to the lake for the mountains.

I might upload a picture I processed, if my mobile phone data usage doesn't exceed its daily limit first!

H
