a few more catlins photos

purakaunui bay in the evening, starry night with caravan, sea lions at surat bay, and looking down near jacks blowhole.

i really like that second one, if you click on it and see it larger, you can sort of see the stars.  my new camera has a "starry sky" setting, but alas, the longest the shutter will stay open is one minute.  i think it'd be really cool if i could get it to stay open longer, i could spend hours taking photos of the sky at night! 

we finished work early last night, which we knew we would, but it ended up being only six hours.  fantastic!  i got more sleep that way, and i slept some more this afternoon.  i'd go to bed now (it's not quite 2am), but it took me long enough to get into the whole up-all-night, sleep-all-day routine and i'd really like to keep it that way for next week. i'm getting a little bit bored though, i was watching the rugby match (all blacks vs. wallabies) on tv, but i think that socket is on a timer (as most of them in this house are, annoyingly), because the tv went out before it was even halftime.  ack!  so i'm just dinking around on the internet, and about to find some doctor who on youtube!
