This photo was taken in front of my house a few days ago. It is like a bunch of wind turbines admiring the glittering pearl quietly sitting on top of the mountain.

The photos were taken during my recent trip to Japan. It was cherry blossom season!

Huka falls is the most relaxing place in North Island, New Zealand. On a clear sunny day, the water is an amazing crystal clear blue. There are about 220,000 litres of water per second flowing through

According to Deutsche Bank last year 2017, Wellington officially crowned the city with the world's highest quality of life. Wellington scored top for a city that has the least pollution of any city ranked.

This video was captured when I was on my way to Timaru, South Island last year. I was sitting in the last row and had the great view to capture the retraction of the landing gear when taking off from

Unless you have been busy holidaying over the last several weeks, you would have noticed that the XRP price surged and replaced Ethereum as world number 2 cryptocurrency just before the new year eve of

I spent 3 nights in Martinborough over the last Christmas for a short break. I have been there several times but still, keep coming back to this lovely place. Martinborough is just an hour drive from

SUMMARY NOTE: If this blog gets downvoted; @ranchorelaxo has our backs!! Not seven days ago, I had provided an update on Ripple (XRP) and elaborated on how cryptos just LOVE the triangle pattern. The below

I have been living in Paparangi (one of the Wellington northern suburbs) for the past 7 years and did not know that there is a hidden gem (a park) until recently I saw someone posted a stunning photo on

Happy New Year everyone! I am getting ready to do some art commissions for some more Roleplaying Game projects, so I thought I'd limber up by doing some fun projects to to get the creative juices flowing.

有人说纽西兰是一个大自然的户外健身室，说得一点也不过分，而且非常的贴切。这里一般白天温度都在摄氏二十度左右，冬天十一二度，夏天顶多二十七八度。除了下雨天，天气温度一般都是很温和，在户外做运动是舒服的。 上星期五自己拿了一天小假，带了山地脚车（自行车）去了位于十五公里外的Hutt River河岸骑脚车去。当天气温十五度，不冷不热。 Hutt 河水向惠灵顿港口流去。 骑累了可以停下来在hutt

考虑了几个星期，最后我们还是决定去Wairarapa的Masterton小镇度一个小假。Masterton对我们并不陌生，这已经是我们第二次到这小镇度假。Masterton位于Tatarua Range脚下，虽然由惠灵顿去区区的一个小时半车程，要去那个地方必须经过崎岖的Rimutaka Range山路，会晕车的人如果不开车，只往窗外看，肯定会晕车。哈！

纽西兰盛产葡萄酒在全球尽人皆知，尤其Martinborough Wine便是其中一个获奖无数，小有名气的葡萄酒。酿制葡萄酒当然需要葡萄的供应，而葡萄园在纽西兰触目皆是。 Martinborough是一个位于Wairarapa的一个小镇，离开Masterton也只有43公里。这地方地平如掌，四季气候温和，阳光充足，是适合栽种葡萄的好地方。

Spring is finally here. Have you been to Wellington Botanic Garden yet? 春天终于到了。 你去过了惠灵顿植物园吗？ Better hurray, the tulips will soon be withered. 再不去，花很快就谢了喔！

看太多香港连续剧和那些大状夸张的台词，我还以为这现实生活中，律师也是如此舌战公堂。直到最近有个特殊的机缘，坐上陪审席，才知道在法庭上，个个都彬彬有礼，讲究礼仪。 在纽西兰，每个人一生中都有机会收到担任陪审员的juror

If you want to know how the computer vision works, here is an opportunity. Kirill Eremenko (Data Scientist and Udemy AI Instructor) is now offering new online course on computer vision at Kickstarter.

Pencarrow Head是纽西兰第一个建立灯塔的地方，历史可以追踪到19世纪1859年。它是当年唯一照明惠灵顿海口的灯塔。时过境迁，旧灯塔已经拆除，而如今的灯塔是在1906年和1936年重建的。最近我开车去Eastbourne小镇，在Burden Gate Shed那儿租了部mountain bike朝着Pencarrow Head骑去。

离开了海岸，船长开尽了油门，让船只在太平洋海上勇闯直冲飞速的奔驰。太平洋的海浪汹涌澎拜，整个船舱上下左右摇荡得厉害，乘客忍住着波涛翻滚的颠簸，只渴望能一睹海洋巨型生物抹香鲸(Sperm Whale)的真面目。

Although New Zealand is now in Spring, you can still see snow capped mountains if you travel to places with higher ground. The following photo was taken near the desert road when I was traveling to Taupo

Depending on solar activities, the Southern Lights can sometimes be spotted in South Island of New Zealand. On a lucky day, you could even see it in Wellington. Because of the city light pollution, you
