Apologies, I’ve been a bit quiet here lately… the reason being my notebook had a bit of a meltdown- the keyboard malfunctioned entirely and was rendered useless.

Fort Ballance, Wellington NZ, August 2012: A long exposure/merged image from a few nights ago. The light streak is from a small plane- light pollution and digital noise make up the rest.

Wellington had no defences at all, yet had the national gold reserve in the vaults of the Bank Of New Zealand. Check out Darkhalide for […]
