Nice… trees?
That Rimu has become my most important tree on the land. The main building will be in sympathy of it. I envisage being able to touch it's branches from the deck, and I have convinced other half of this also, which is kinda important as he will build my dream. :)

Hard News: The Next Labour Leader, in reply to BenWilson,
when more and more people finally get that the resources of the world are finite, the resources of the country are finite, and unaccounted-for cost will always catch up with you in the long run. Perhaps these ideas will become mainstream and the Greens will have served their purpose.
Which NZers already think. Anti asset sales, no drilling , caring about our conservation land and the rest of the targets, using alternatives in many fields. lots smoking dope and not scared of it, or the people who do. It is pretty mainstream now. That is not advocating they have served their purpose though, I have always appreciated that their presence gives us the advantage of seeing these environmental concerns and that is what I liked about them. I am a little sad to feel that becoming mainstream puts them beside whoever they choose to work with each Election, but beside Labour suit my wishes as it brings a bigger picture that I hope for. I liked that they were deeply alternative, real even.That is why I could now see Mana climb for those disaffected staunch lefties.

Revival of Christchurch
Great collection Alex. I note that sky in the "Revival" shot still says a lot to me. Almost like it's fighting to smooth the way. Touch of blue but still angry. Containers really are coming into their own in this country. From jails to ship aground to buildings. We use them ourselves, got 2 in fact. Sorry to pic jack but, although not Chch, it is one of our containers.:)

Hard News: The Next Labour Leader, in reply to Russell Brown,
I think the Greens had to broaden their appeal – how many times did Norman say “smart green prosperity”? – and it worked for them. But claiming nothing has ever changed in the party’s orientation is delusional.
This from the Herald would seem to confirm that.
The most visible evidence of the Greens' quest for economic credibility was in co-leader Russel Norman's preference for a conservative suit and tie.

Neat photo Dyan. I lost a lot of scanned old stuff so have to do it all again but for some reason this one of me in '85 is still exists. So here I am at 21 :)

There was the mysterious death of a peach tree and a big old wisteria after the September quake though,
Wisteria, whilst grown anywhere (happily in sun), does need well draining soil so depending on the liquefaction build up around it, it may have suffocated/ drowned. Some plants do have delicate shallow root systems (like Daphne) so I imagine earthquakes would be a wee bit hazardous to them. Not sure about fruit trees yet.

Well that is nice to know. Essential viewing if I was down there. Plants and dirt are really good therapy.
