We've had some very dark days at the Mount. No silver lining, but we need to look forward.

We Will Never Forget
The disaster of January 22nd 2026 at Mt Maunganui.
As of today, recovery of people lost in the mud slide continues.
Four days later streets are still cordoned off and a somber feeling hangs over us all.
At Pilot Bay as well.
The disaster site. Photo from the media. Mount Hot Pools and Camping ground.
Taken on the 26th of January. Slips are visible. But this photo will be on my wall. Over the past 50 years very few days went by when I was not either living at the Mount or walking on Mauao absorbing its beauty and strong presence.

McLaren Falls. Its Summer.
We took the lads up for a picnic and their first summer swim there. Everyone else had the same idea. I wandered off to try my new iPhones camera on a few time exposures shots.
The picnic
Matching ice cream.

Time exposure. Makes a nice feel to landscapes.
Lewis. Our entertainment and distraction.
