Along with my great-uncle Peter Mira, who is bits somewhere at Paschendahl -
there is a lovely family photo of Peter astride his horse (like many on that side of the family (Kai Tahu/Scots) he was a good horseman.) But... I cant post that kind of picture without the whole (necessary) rigmarole of permissions...the horse never came back either (it - a gelding- was known both for it's strength,
and for getting down on it's fores when the words, 'lady rider' were uttered...Among the great other toll of human wars are the loyal animals - who really didnt have much choice.

I was told that many were simply shot even after surviving the war years - it was easier than shipping them back.

More colour - the Chinese taniwha from yesterday's parade. Photo by Ms G.G.
@Joe: White Niagra? I have had a good crop from mine for 4 years but the vine has gone into decline. Recommend tying small paper bags over each bunch, before they ripen, as the birds love them.
That's the one Geoff. I planted it on the recommendation of someone local, who hasn't reported too much bird trouble. Perhaps the tweeties are more voracious up your way. If it does go into decline I guess I'll have to replace it with a sensible passion vine.

"Trafficlight Trees" - on the Never-never road, north of Bellingen, NSW (and 11 years ago so this is the highest resolution I have!)

And I'll counter the sunsets with a Sunrise - Wainui Beach, Gisborne, Good Friday 2010 (we had just driven through the night to get there)

Love those "traffic light" trees. It just so happens that something similar was the Earth Science Picture of the Day yesterday.
Fall colors and subsequent leaf abscission are triggered both by photoperiodism (changing day length) and by decreasing nighttime temperatures. The Chinese pistache featured here is showing centripetal fall color maturation -- the onset of fall coloration occurs from the top down.

July 07 was the last time I did a driving tour, solo, around the North Island. I had a wonderful time, took heaps of photos, and discovered that part of NZ again. I came away in love, all over again, with my heart land.

Enjoying these photos, which makes a pleasant change from the craziness going on around us. The significance of colour for wellbeing reminds my of the School of Radiant Living, which I researched a few years ago, and whose records are in the Beaglehole room at Victoria University's library. This 1940s-60s pre new-agey type movement for the middle classes discouraged the wearing of black clothes and promoted the eating of colourful foods, including multi-coloured salads.

Tosser!Heh! I prefer my salads dry. Self-desiccating humour? For all you know, I might have voted for them.

And sunset again. Repetitive bloody sun eh?
This one was hanging around in the back yard up North. Finally got rid of it, only to come back the next bloody morning!

We had a bit of a spectacular Fall in Pittsburgh this year. This was towards the end of it, in my old 'hood.

And a sunset, with the Cathedral of Learning.
