My camera arrived today, which gave me the final push needed to start putting my photos online. You’ll find the beginnings at http://picasaweb.google.com/tikitu; I’ll post here every now and then as I get new galleries up and running.

First up: The Golden Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Association Show (the A&P show). The annual show combines a fair (ferris wheel, candy floss, “everyone’s a winner, lotsa lucky numbers” and all) with a livestock show and competitions, competition wood-chopping and speed shearing, a steam- and traction engine show, a grand parade (complete with stunt motorcyclists and the local brass band), and plenty of other stuff also. It’s an institution, and no Kiwi small town would be the same without it.
