more photos!
This guy was doing his best to get up the hills.
He had to stop to catch his breath before paddling on.
This is at the turn off to the look out.
Entering the path way to the look out
Turning back to the parking area it looked like this.
Just before sunset.
As the road rises away from Upper Hutt on the Te Marua to Kaitoki stretch of State Highway Two, you’ll encounter a new section of road just completed in 2005. It’s a $14.2 million, 5.5 kilometre realignment of this important part of the main artery to the Wairarapa.
Half way up the initial incline you’ll encounter the Te Marua Lakes Lookout, so named because it provides a stop-off to view the spectacular scene of the Hutt River valley and the twin lakes, known as Stuart Macaskill Lakes, built to provide back-up water for the urban areas downstream.

Wild weekly photo challenge – Clouds
WILD WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – CLOUDS
This week we’re challenging you to point your lenses toward the clouds, because this week’s theme is clouds! Puffy and white or menacing and grey – clouds can take on many shapes, clinging to the ground as fog or towering miles into the sky. When billions of tiny molecules of water or ice crystal come together, they form a cloud. Most of the time we see them as white, since they reflect the light of the sun. When the cloud gets thick enough or high enough, it can appear grey, blocking most of the sun’s light from getting through.
This week, head outside and see if you can find some interesting clouds to take pictures of! The shots don’t have to be only of the clouds, but they should be one of the key elements in your scene!

Travel theme: SUNSET
http://wheresmybackpack.com/2012/08/17/sunset/
Now I know there have been previous photo challenges on sunsets, but I also believe it is a universal truth that we cannot resist reaching for our cameras as the sun puts on its goodnight performance. You’ve probably got a myriad of dazzling sunset shots just waiting to be put online, so if you would like to join in this week’s travel theme, create your own post titled Travel theme: Sunset and don’t forget to put a link to this page in your post to make it easy for others to find it. Don’t forget to check back in next Friday for a new travel theme.

Today is the shortest day of the year with the solstice at 11:09 am. Auckland will have just 9 hours and 38 minutes of daylight today. Wellington will 9 hours and 11 minutes of daylight. Christchurch will have 8 hours and 56 minutes. Invercargill will have just 8 hours 35 minutes.
Of course this also means that the days start getting longer again as of tomorrow.
