Photo Friday didn’t last long (although I may have warned you that I’m terrible at sticking with things) but it’s a new month and a new weekend so let’s try a weekend challenge instead.

Snapshot Saturday is more about taking candid shots of everyday things, rather than hunting out the perfect shot for a particular prompt. So feel free to share a photo of something from your weekend - before and after shots of gardening progress, the shiny finish on your freshly cleaned vehicle (haha) or a good sunset.

Rules: No NSFW, no shots you didn’t take yourself.

    Over the rails maybe once every 2-3 years. There’s a dual 1.2m diameter culvert there on the left (where that white water is) for what is usually a tiny stream. But sometimes they just can’t cope.

    Yes, it’s a functional narrow gauge rail that we use to carry passengers to/from the caves and also just as a standalone tourist railway.

      That’s really cool, I bet it makes for an awesome experience. I’m keen to come try one day, as soon as I work out what else there is to do in Westport 😀

        Haha, there’s some fantastic mountain biking, lots of amazing walks (day and multi-day), some good self-drive history tours (old coal and gold mines etc), horse treks, white water rafting, surf schools and more.

              Ah, my quick google mapping must have included the ferry. 4h isn’t quite as bad. A day or two in Nelson on the way could work too (we know someone there).

              The next issue is that after the Christmas break I’ll have about 1 day of annual leave left. Can you solve that problem? 😆
