Hi guys,
OK, so who bought a massive telescope? I hope you're enjoying your 1 light year-diameter RC. I was completely rained out from Akaroa, through Arthur's Pass, and all of the west coast. Gary and Gary, I made the trip out to Karamea, and as beautiful as it looked, it was washed out, so, I had to turn around and drive back down the coast.
Right now, I am in Te Anau, and will be off to both Milford and Doubtful Sounds over the next couple of days. The southern part of the island has been spectacular as far as weather goes.
Gary, I will be at Lake Tekapo in a few days time and will go to the observatory.
I was quite upset at being washed out and not being able to photograph all the majestic landscape and scenery from the east to the west coast.
I didn't get a chance to jump out of a plane, as I spent a lot of time walking and doing other things. I have taken a number of photographs now, and, a lot of it looks quite exciting. Kind of like, blown-up-and-printed-in-large-format exciting. I look forward with great enthusiasm to sharing them with you once I get back and the arduous task of processing is complete.
Edit: I have never, ever, driven such awesome roads in my entire life. I'm travelling in a campervan and it is an absolute pleasure to drive on the bitumen here.
Talk soon.
Regards,
Humayun
