The orientation seems to be the bane of my photographic existence :-)
Love the idea of the cartwheelers. The random joy and distractability are so much part of the fun of kids sports.

Hard News: Friday Music: An unforced craft, in reply to Russell Brown,
Yes, they are quite magnificent.
I had been addicted to "Dear -" for ages, but it was only available to stream on bandcamp - do was delighted when this album was released.Saw them live for the first time last year at a radio one gig at sammys in Dunedin. My partner and I arrived just as that song started. It was spellbinding - an amazing and beautiful visual backdrop created by Erica skelans, and a mesmerising, spine tingling show by a most excellent band. Beautiful.

Hard News: Friday Music: An unforced craft, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
Not sure about "good cause" - hell, this ain't even Band Aid!
But I'm with you Geoff- usually hate novelty songs. But his made me smile. Sounded weirdly like Dylan singing about cricket, with some odd Gerry Rafferty influenced brass blowing in the background. Pleasingly offbeat quirk from Phoenix foundation - go the hairy javelin and all.

Wonderful photos from two very generous photographers.
Last year our 14 year old daughter and I were lucky enough to see our first Aurora- heading off to Tomahawk beach in Dunedin, kindly met by Paul. He gave me a very quick and helpful instruction on my camera settings, and also shared “tripod time” when seeing the “mixed” results I was getting from resting my camera on my jacket on the sand (some worked ok, but moisture from the sand kept fogging up the lens).
Probably most on here follow Paul (and Ian) on twitter- both frequently post amazing pictures, and Paul’s highly energetic, enthusiastic and generous personality certainly comes through.
Here is an image from that night- such an amazing experience to see. (my shots i thought were somewhat martian-like)

Great track from Kane Strang- and an interesting interview on the Audience site. His stuff is always worth listening to, and is excellent live. He is also part of a band Dinosuar Sanctuary- brilliant fun live, and a really good album available on bandcamp http://dinosaursanctuary.bandcamp.com/
