> I just found this little site and thought maybe some of you might like to see a few of the places I see, out on the water. These particular photos are of Waiheke Island, one of the larger of the 60 or so islands scattered around Auckland. (The exact number depends on what you are prepared to call an island. If you count seagull perches, there are probably hundreds.)
> The photos here are fairly typical of the Hauraki Gulf coastline and islands (on a *nice* day, of course, which seldom seems to happen when *I* am on duty...)

Wow. That's gorgeous. Thank you.
I have problems looking at pictures like that. I get annoyed when I realize my Diet Coke has traveled more than I have. Well, you're extremely lucky to get to see that even a few times.
I'm still a little bitter that those several inches of snow we got in several hours got rained on within a few days. It's gone... all gone... and it doesn't help that Raven got snow before me. :-(

Not to sound ungrateful-- I still love looking at pictures of natural shtuff. Thank you for the link.
