Capture: Besties, in reply to Damian Christie,
I’ve spent a lot of time filming Kaikoura this year. This pic was taken at the SH1 reopening dawn ceremony today in Rakautara. Like many here, im tired but very happy and proud of what’s been done.
Lovely image - it reminds me of the low-light stuff Angus McNaughton does.

At the Conch record fair on Ponsonby Road a couple of weekends ago. The sounds were booming.

Capture: Besties, in reply to JacksonP,
When I saw that posted on Twitter, I thought, sweet, he can sling that in my blog.
Thank you for obliging. :-)
No worries! I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The focus is courtesy of the tilt-shift filter (aka "Miniaturise") in Camera+.

I'll dig out my besties later on, but for now, a seasonal set-piece taken yesterday.

Bryce Pearce has written a very good guest post for Bike Auckland, on the stretch of road where John Bonner died last week.
I think it's an important read.

Greater Auckland heralds the Bikexplosion.
Numbers are sharply up all over the city.

Hard News: The hard road to a…, in reply to Glen Koorey,
Complicating that right now is that everything is all still new, so we are trying various things to see what works or not. Over time I expect that you will see some earlier less-than-stellar cycleway efforts get replaced with whatever is the current preferred best practice. In the meantime, assuming a design isn’t inherently fundamentally flawed, it will probably stay as is until the improved version comes along.
The one that bugs me is obstacle-based traffic calming installed in the belief that it will make things safer for cyclists, when the effect is the opposite. The actor Peter Elliot made this video (it's on Facebook, but I think it’s public) of the descent down Grosvenor Street from Great North Road, which is supposed to be a connection to the Grey Lynn Park shared path. It’s incoherent. Suddenly narrowing a street to a single lane and giving me nowhere else to go just adds anxiety and risk. I love the Grey Lynn Park route, but I’ll actively avoid this as a way to get to it.
