As soon as the equinoctial winds pick up, they'll be gone. Some years we have them for no longer than about 10 days, other times they hang on for almost a month.

Yes, that's right. From a place called Pukengahu, about 13 kms from Stratford.

Yes I did. With a Panasonic Lumix TZ15, using zoom to get that view.
I'm actually really pleased with the camera, only had it about 3 months.

Thanks to you both for the positive comments; I'm actually starting to find digital photography really fascinating. But I think I'll stick to "compacts", rather than those big SLR's as we travel quite a bit and I'd rather carry something that fits in a pocket easily.
