Posted on January 29, 2014 by Geoff Walker

Nearly at the end of 2013’s pictures. Back in New Zealand with many things happening with the highlights for me being the Pain and Kershaw 140th birthday celebrations, the Barrel Race around the Martinborough Square as a prelude to Toast Martinborough and of course Toast itself!! I can’t leave out the wonderful Armistice Day Airshow in Masterton with the biggest collection of WWI planes in the world owned by Sir Peter Jackson’s The Vintage Aviator. Thanks Wairarapa for all the amazing events in November

Aside

Well here is my October highlights which commenced with a trip to Muriwai, near Gisborne for the unveiling of my late brother Caley Walker-Smith. Fantastic time on the marae at Muriwai with whanau and friends. The Kokomai Arts Festival had it’s inaugural run during the month and went off and down really well.. congratulations to those who made it happen.. Also had a second unveiling this month for Hoppy – you are missed so much mate!!

Enjoy the images – I’ve included several similar shots or variations so you get an idea of what I see and how I am approaching my photography and creativity.

On the way to Muriwai - Highway 50 near Gwavas.

Vineyards near Maraekakaho - just noticed the piles of gravel behind the rows.

Whakaki Lagoon, north of Wairoa and before Nuhaka.

Lake Ferry, Palliser Bay, Wairarapa . One of my favourite places...

After Taradale on a corner with Highway 50.

On the way back from Muriwai, this is near Mohaka
