Driving to St Bathan's, IV
This is the unsealed road I mentioned (there's a lot of them around here).

Driving to St Bathan's, III
Driving to St Bathan's, II
St Bathan's is a tiny place down an unsealed road in Central Otago, usually one of the hottest parts of the country. (Speaking of which, Auckland had 100% humidity yesterday.) Formerly a thriving town, St Bathan's was all but deserted after the gold mines ran dry.

Rail Trail
We cycled 50km down the Rail Trail from Waipiata to Middlemarch. It runs for about 250km along a decommissioned train route; this is near the end, at Middlemarch.

Die Willis-Orgel
Father Willis, renovated in the 1970s by the South Island Organ Company. Lovely thing. (For organists only: no general pistons; Full Organ and Pedal Trombone toe pistons were disconnected because organ scholars kept hitting them by accident, no doubt causing hilarity and suicide.)

St Paul's Cathedral, Dunedin
As is so often the case, this building was never completed to the original plans. The West facade looks as first intended, but the "temporary" Chancel was replaced permanently only in the 1970s.

So let us answer sorrow's cry!
The past is dead: search not its grave
For hidden faults! The remedy
Is ours to seek, to find and save.

Sunset over Dunedin
There were some lovely colours in the sky tonight as I cycled home from the beach.

Railway Station, Dunedin
Since New Zealand's rail network was scaled back, this lovely station has been sentenced to life as a tourist attraction and de facto bus terminus. I think it stopped meaningful passenger services in the 1980s.
