Otago Bay Sunset

Otago Bay Sunset
Otago Bay Sunset,
originally uploaded by Mad Shutter-bug.
This view of Otago Bay, New Zealand photographed just after sunset returning to our B&B in Dunedin from seeing the Penquins. Why, you might ask (or not) am I posting a photograph made five years ago tomorrow? Because due to the vagaries of the International Date Line it actually was today, at least in the sense that we woke up on 9/12 to the news of what currently transpired in NYC.


One more on Flickr, taken the morning of 9/11 New Zealand time. Follow the link above.

No, we were not stranded though people we know were. We planned on a full month, September. First week was an OR Nursing conference in Chch, then we started our driving tour. Friends who spent only a couple extra days and then headed home, they were grounded. By the time we came home (9/28), commercial flights resumed.
