For 36 years this house stood atop of a small rise in Ahiaruhe Wairarapa, unfinished and exposed to the elements. Decay led to it's desolate, forlorn aesthetic and made it a great photographic subject. Eventually and perhaps inevitably, it burnt down in 2022.

A Virtual Reality (VR) panorama of the spectacular Putangirua Pinnacles in the south Wairarapa. Created by the erosive forces of rain and floods over millions of years it was notably used as the location 'Dimholt Road' in The Lord of the Rings.

The Aurora Australis beams behind the Pencarrow Lighthouse (1859). Although only a short distance from home, I had an accident on this particular adventure and busted myself up pretty badly.
