Hard News: Fluency, ease of manner - and…, in reply to nzlemming,
I reckon that was more of a flounce...
Indeed, a fluent, easy-mannered flounce that Norton didn't stop going viral - http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/john-key-s-press-conference-walkout-goes-viral-5537416

[oops! - should perhaps have been there's one I captured ...]

Fog managed to obscure all signs of spring this morning
on the riverbank¡
on the riverbank!but 'Ninety' had no trouble navigating in full colour.

Seems like there might have been a few spring showers in Auckland? And you're expecting more, Jackson? Here's one I captured a few days ago from my current seat at home, with two weeping willows nicely out of synch in their responses to early spring.

Seemed like a multi-panelled artwork to me.
Indeed …
maybe a little Monet did seep into me.

More-calming photos –
I visited Te Papa two weeks ago, interested in the art but avoided the Impressionists show – it would be easy to mis-read it as being all about the Monet.Leaving late in the day, I took a shine to the view over the moat between the main building and ‘Bush City’.

Across the evaporating ponds of the Lake Grassmere saltworks - epicentre of the mainshock 6.6 magnitude out there in the lake just beyond the train/railway embankment, focus 8 km deep. On-topical?

Upside down, inside out – the direct effects of the Seddon earthquake.
And here’s a 3 day seismograph record of it and more particularly the continuing aftershocks from GeoNet’s Wellington seismometer 71 km from the main shock’s focus. These capturing the previous 24hours at about 6am Saturday, Sunday and today/Monday from top to bottom. Note changing vertical shaking scale – 60,000 on day 1 so the smaller aftershocks are filtered out, 10,000 on day 2, and 5000 on day 3 where I suspect the slight ‘noise’ on the time lines are all the smaller aftershocks around Mw 2 and less, rather than traffic and shoreline surf vibrations that may show when the shaking scale is down to a few hundred.http://www.wellingtonquakelive.co.nz/

Capture: Upside Down, Inside Out, in reply to Jos,
I've made up a new poster for NZ
Before the referendum, suggest refinement to the slogan -
NEW ZEALAND
NOT BAD EH!? -
Hard News: Friday Music: Bright pastel…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Man, they are getting hammered up there in Seddon
poor buggers, my heart goes out to them...Indeed. These shallow and centred on land, main shock and many of the aftershocks around the Lake Grassmere (saltworks) not out in the middle of Cook Strait like that and those last month.
