In my job I get to see some pretty awesome views. Yesterday I went to Blenheim and back, past Mount Taranaki and over the Marlborough Sounds. The weather was lovely, and so were the views!

Today we departed Rotorua at dusk. As we climbed to the south, Mount Ruapehu was silhouetted by the last of the light for the day. This first image shows Taupo township in the closest bay on the lake, as well as smoke slowly rising from fires and factories on the ground. The second image shows Mount Taranaki sticking up above the horizon, and a slither of the moon. What a lovely night!

Lenticular clouds sit above Mount Ruapehu, formed due to the strong westerly winds. At 20,000ft the wind was up to 60kt (just over 100km/h).

Starting work at 5:45am is always a challenge, but once we got going today the views were amazing. Flying is awesome!

I grew up in Auckland, and know my way around it. Despite this, it’s still possible to find new places that I haven’t been before. While visiting the “Cruelty Free” shop in St Kevin’s Arcade, I went for a walk down through Myers Park, then back up Queen Street to the car. It’s quite a cool spot - it’s nice to be in a real city for a change.
