Snapped out our kitchen window a few mins ago. I haven't seen my Taranaki for a few days, and when I last did there was not a shred of snow. About the ony thing to be said for winter is waking up to this...

Wow...
Even though it's snow, it's still pretty. As long as it stays way up on the mountain where I don't have to drive in it or shovel it, though...

BTW, totally useless bit of trivia. If you ever saw the movie The Last Samurai, it is not Fujiyama nor Japan that you see... it was shot here. It was quite an event for the yokels.
What a lovely place! It's a wonderful photograph too, with the clouds clinging to the side. Good work!

Whoa.
That's unbelievable.
Okay, I have to get to the North Island, pronto.
Marvelous photo, akg.

Wow.
*Looks out of own window to see old caravan and some trees.*
You win.
It took me a moment to remember it's Winter in New Zealand (A C. J. Sansom sequal perhaps?)
On a similar note of trivia: the Bond film Live and Let Die, supposedly set on the Carribean island of Haiti, was actually filmed in Dorset, England. This would all have been fine but someone forgot to check on plantlife. There are several plants in the background which grow in England but definately not on Haiti.

Thank you, akiwiguy, for making me that much more depressed about the fact that I live in the anus of the world.

Out that window is a slab of highway. Out that window is a gravel road. Out that one is a ... Oh wait. I forgot. No windows.
And yes, I am doing this while I'm at work.
What an awesome sight. Thanks for the pick me up.

Okay, that is an impressive sight.
But... but... you said the S-WORD. And the W-WORD.

Ugh.
Wuss
That is a considerably lovely view from your kitchen window, Akiwiguy. I think I may be experiencing what some call "jealousy."

That was a lovely pick-me-up. I'll have to ask my aunt in New Zealand what her kitchen window view is like.

Well ** blush ** , hell, I'd always kinda assumed that... but have you noticed from posts above that the bed could be rather full?
