I went with Deidre and Rani, a friend of ours, to a place called Castlepoint, which is about a 2 hour drive northeast of Wellington. Today was a great day for photos...

We went to Martinborough first. This was a view over the valley...

Then we had brunch in a cafe, and I had to take this photo of an old piano that was there...

This is the Martinborough Hotel...

After leaving Martinborough we headed to Castlepoint. I saw a winery along the way and got this photo...
Finally, we arrived at Castlepoint! There was a surf up...

The lighthouse is the attraction at Castlepoint. Take notice of the top of the cliff to the left of the lighthouse, as there's a few photos further below taken from that point...

A view of the small harbour from the path heading up to the lighthouse...

Here's the lighthouse, and with Deidre included, just to prove it was me taking the photos ;-)

I met a man in Martinborough today who was selling photos at an indoor fair. I could see that he was good, but I also considered that some of my own photos were as good. I got to talking to him, and found that he had his own business which he does part time, selling his photos.

I'm going to start selling my own. If you want to buy poster sized prints of any of the above, let me know. I'll start work on a website presenting them for sale.
