‘Relax! II’
…just sand, sea and sky, with time idly passing by…

‘Flying Underwater’
Quite privileged to have had the recent experience of wading in the tidal waters near Gisborne, amongst stingrays.
This magnificent eagle ray resembles a stealth bomber in flight, I reckon…

‘Beached’
…the hiatus – between tides and voyages.

‘Twice The Love’


‘The Captain’

‘A Lion On Guard’
…you shall not pass…
