Sunset visit to Stonehenge Aoteaora, a modern clonehenge with several solar alignments . The obelisk top aligns to the south celestial pole and cats a shadow that marks our an an analemma on the ground. Outlying stones match the horizon in height when viewed from the centre, and mark the solstices and equinoxes. #Astronomy #Clonehenge #Aotearoa #StoneCircles @Icarosity

Some beautiful photos from #Christchurch #photographer https://PaulFrancis.nz which the lads bought and had framed at #VanUfflens as a 30th anniversary present for wifey and I. They’ve come out really well!

Here in the Far North we can grow a range of locally adapted bananas and plantains - which taste way better than imported bananas. This flower bud will open up over the next couple of weeks and set at least 100 bananas. #aotearoa #doubtlessbay #bananas

Featuring Gael Force, better known as a TV weather presenter ... I seem to remember that was a minor cause celebre at the time this song came out.

I have no idea what type of iris this is, if anyone does know what sort of iris I’d love to know. This photo was taken in NZ if that is a help.
