Ballooning in Hamilton

Day one of the Learning@School conference in Hamilton. As I was walking to the conference this morning there were two balloons floating lazily over the convention centre. It seemed very fitting for the start of the conference. 1500 teachers all ready for two days of keynotes and workshops and I get to film nearly 30 of them. What a cool job.

Ready and waiting

Today we set up for the Learning at School conference in Hamilton. We are in the brand new Claudelands Events Centre and the keynote room looks amazing. These chairs are waiting to be filled by the 1500 teachers arriving tomorrow.

Web

I found a beautifully formed web in my garden today, they truly are a work of art and magic.

A Distant City at the Crown Hotel

A Distant City played their first pub gig tonight at the Crown Hotel in Dunedin. Not bad considering two members of the band were jet lagged.

Fremantle

We had a lovely time wandering around Fremantle today. I chose this image because I love the way the old couple seem to be watching the young man as he walks away from them, the whole scene seemed to have a 3D quality (which is a little lost when the image is small).
