For all the shutterbugs out there (like my wife), this is required viewing. Lots of NZ and Tasmania in here Russ.

Boots that is one incredible set of photos. Several of the landscape shots don't even look real. Gives one a since of how small, as humans, we really are to the grand design of the Master"s plan.

Re: PHOTOGRAPHIC WONDERS
Nz has some amazing places . As does your country. The road between greymouth and Westport is an amazing drive. The scenery is unbelievable. As you may know my background is harness racing, owner breeder. My son was a junior driver for a few years. Here's a pic of a race accident here last week. I've ordered this pic to place on my wall. I think you will enjoy the pic. Driver had a broken ankle. All horses well.

Re: PHOTOGRAPHIC WONDERS
I’ve said it before, I think it takes larger stones to sit the seat of a sulky than it does to drive NASCAR in a steel cage. And as farAs the 110 pound jockeys in this country that essentially ride bareback on a 1200 pound horse going 30 miles an hour, While surrounded by 10 guys doing the same thing atop 40 churning legs w meat chopper shoes?? There’s a reason the old-timers used to call them “bug boys”.

Bug boys huh. Never knew that. We take our grandkids every year to the grand national here. The tracks a 5 minute drive from my home, I grew around that track and visited it from an early age. We stand at cutts brush, we watch them jump this fence twice during the race. We are about 10 feet away from the horses. Love the sound of galloping hooves, and jockeys yelling,lol.
