...when it's making a loud whirring noise: [flickr]photo:3051605329[/flickr] This particular A-10 is the sole prototype of the YA-10B, a two-seater model which never made it to production.

A curious temporary road-side sign in Devonport a few months ago: [flickr]photo:3052388240[/flickr] Despite the low-end design of the sign, I'm betting it was backed by a substantial Internet marketing budget spent on natural search rankings and Google AdWords.

I’m a Swiss tourist

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 Posted in Auckland, Photos | No Comments »

Alex and Adelheid initially greeted me warmly as fellow Swiss tourists, probably due to my red+white t-shirt, short blonde hair, fleece, cargo pants and Austrian-designed glasses. [flickr]photo:3052096030[/flickr] They made quickly for the sunset after hearing my accent. "Alex? Adelheid? Don't treat me like ...

Took some time off to take photos around the Auckland CBD yesterday: [flickr]photo:2576872967[/flickr][flickr]photo:2578790657[/flickr] [flickr]photo:2579611950[/flickr][flickr]photo:2579663108[/flickr] [flickr]photo:2578833513[/flickr][flickr]photo:2579664358[/flickr] [flickr]photo:2578808009[/flickr][flickr]photo:2578873005[/flickr] And some slightly older photos from January: [flickr]photo:2579706052[/flickr][flickr]photo:2579707690[/flickr] [flickr]photo:2579959066[/flickr] Ah, summer.

I'm not sure if the wire on this church window sill is aimed at birds or humans: [flickr]photo:2516076382[/flickr] But I wouldn't want to grab it with my hands. The location is St Patrick's Cathedral Auckland (map). I helped Google out by moving the pushpin to ...

Is it technically even an insect? I still have it stored away in a container, in the off chance it's a weird genetic mutant conceived near my rubbish bin. [flickr]photo:2458630238[/flickr] Really important update: According to Gene of Flybusters, it's a common centipede. ...
