Picture Gallery One

As I live down-under in New Zealand, I am unable to use Pictures with an American theme, so here, you will find a few pictures of my area, along with the abandoned railroad now converted into a very popular "Rail Trail" for walkers, cylcists, and horse riders. Further information on this trail can be found on the Biography page. Except for picture 1A, all have be taken by, and are copyrighted to 'Blackie'.
These will be changed from time to time.
