This Baby's Mustache, America Superthread

[Axver]

Go on...

Just as I posted that other picture. In the first one, the building at left is the netball part of the centre.

Meanwhile, here is short final approach to Wellington

Oooh, sweet.

Not ice hockey, though. Hockey hockey.

Real hockey....i guess

 

[coolian2]

I have no idea what picture i have copied, here goes nothing

 

[Axver]

Even the much loved by Melbourne sport of league is getting a nice new stadium!

Cool pic.

I know. The weirdest part is how Australia's actually not bad at hockey. The way Aussies flock around a winner, you'd think they'd have taken to hockey enough to warrant a bit more of a venue than that!

The route 55 has a fairly steep climb in Royal Park alongside the Zoo up to the State Netball And Hockey Centre.

Pedestrian crossing over the route 55 tramway in Royal Park. The other side of this crossing is a really great spot for photographing trams.

 

[coolian2]

Wow, i just realised it's cold here.

Time for some socks.

I don't know why exactly, but this pic is awesome. I think it's the colours.

 

[Axver]

Now that's cool. Where is it? Near Wellington?

I've got slippers on. It's not really cold enough for them tonight, as it seems some warmth has briefly returned to Melbourne, but they're comfortable.

Here's where the route 55 tramway passes under the Upfield railway line in Royal Park by the Melbourne Zoo.

I'd LOVE to get a photo of a tram going under as a train goes over. I've been IN a tram when that happened, just a few nights ago.

Now that's cool. Where is it? Near Wellington?

Just north of Christchurch

Here's a Comeng electric multiple unit crossing the aforeshown bridge.

Is it just me, or does Comeng sound like it SHOULD be dirty?

It's been a very nice day with hardly a cloud in the sky, mild evening but it's gone cold now.

I love shit like that.

Ahh, right. It looked rugged enough that I thought perhaps it was the southern part of the North Island, where the Orongorongo River reaches Cook Strait.

 

[coolian2]

I can't say this is my best shot, but river beds like this are Epic Win.

It was a pretty nice day today. I forgot to check the weather forecast before I left for uni so I wore too warm clothing for it! We got up to 25.3C.

I've been meaning to look up where i actually took that picture, but i almost prefer the mystery.


Well, i don't. But i'm lazy.

I agree entirely. I love the braided rivers of the Canterbury Plains. The Rakaia River is nuts. New Zealand's longest railway bridge crosses it.

I'm guessing somewhere in northern Canterbury beyond Waipara?

I look out the window for a weather forecast because we have such variable weather here.

It's not a particularly effective method, i've found.

Possibly. I'll look it up...sometime.

nevermind. Glad you had fun

Oh sweet, i'd never noticed the sky reflecting on the wing before

The weather is wildly variable here, but the Bureau of Meteorology know what they're doing and I rarely find their daily maximum predictions are off. It's just WHEN the daily maximum comes! 10am? 2pm? 7pm? The Bureau sometimes at least advises when it may be, if it's going to be an especially unusual time (like one day when we hit 38 or so at 10:30am and proceeded to enjoy a day in the mid-20s).

It's freaky how much that shot looks like it's from Symonds St in Auckland.
