I will never ever forget the once in a lifetime ex I will never ever forget the once in a lifetime experience of being part of the GeoNet team investigating and documenting the 14th Nov 2016 Kaikoura Earthquake. A whole landscape changed forever by the ripping and churning upheavals of multiple fault ruptures, thousands of massive landslides, roads buried, coasts lifted out of the water, a railway twisted and thrown sideways, a house shunted 8 metres off its foundations. Such an honour to be with such great people in the GeoNet team. The strange thing was to realise that this is planet earth being normal - huge time-spans of stability and little change followed by an abrupt shaking to accommodate the slow grinding collision of two huge tectonic plates.

Today a small group of enthusiasts planted some Ka Today a small group of enthusiasts planted some Kahikatea trees in a local bit of former farmland. This is part of an effort to transition a huge area of the local sheep farm to native forest over the next few years.
A kahikatea tree can grow up to 50 metres tall - New Zealand's tallest native tree species. One day, many years from now we hope there will be a stand of impressive Kahikateas in this area, lording over the surrounding dense jungle of lesser trees. So for an example, the big tree with the woodpigeon attempting a photo-bomb is what a large kahikatea looks like after a few decades... this one is in my back garden in Belmont.

One of my next video projects - about the lesser k One of my next video projects - about the lesser known active faults in the Wellington region. This one is the Shepherd's Gully fault, as exposed at Makara Beach. The lower, lighter colored rocks have been crushed and altered at depth and brought up against the typical local greywacke rock that you can see above the dark line of the fault.

The last time I saw the moon like this was in 1982 The last time I saw the moon like this was in 1982 in Sheffield, England. I was walking up a street and was surprised to see the moon had turned a strange red colour. What a perfect night to see the curved shadow of planet earth pass over the face of the moon as it was closest to us in its cycle.
