Had a really nice day today, so spent some time wandering around the middle of town...

Some good pics so far from your travles. Glad to see the 12-24 is getting a workout. :wink:

My hometown too :lol:
Well done, makes the place almost look attractive. Actually, its quite a nice little city, but these make it look great!

Did you get up to see the windmills as well??

Hi Rob - back from Rotorua now, so catching up on everything missed over the last week!
Yip, got up to the windmills - there's a post somewhere (I think), but the weather that day was pretty crappy so didn't get particularly good ones. I'm hoping to get a fine day between now and next Tuesday so I can get back up there. Fine days are at a bit of a premium at the moment!

Great work Leon, love number #2 with its less then conventional composition. The last shot looks like it could do with some help... that or it was smoggy /smokey or something. Hope you having a great time over there, and looking forward to more pics!

Good ol' Palmy Nth, often seen as the "poor" cousin of Taupo/Rotorua etc. I think it's a nice place to visit and have done so on numerous occasions.

Highway 1 is a great drive from Wello to Hamilton, I did a bit of exploring around Raglan and Tauranga in November.

Enjoy the trip and keep the photos coming!
