Don't Dream It's Over

At Captain Cook's Wharf


So, the Rugby World Cup has finally finished, with the best possible result, an All-Blacks victory :). I am looking forward to getting my films developed as even my dodgy point-and-shoot pictures are fun- and they seem to sum up the blur of good bands, good matches, good times and even better fan costumes. 

At the final match, which we watched outside in a packed fanzone, the tension was palpable. I had a severe case of the camera shake and once the frenzy started at the final whistle- forget it. But I still like the expressions in this one, where I aimed for a funny-costume-shot to avoid looking at the match, and missed. The faces kind of say it all.

Bybye RWC, it's been immense, I'm glad I was here....

Time To Say Goodbye

...to the Rugby World Cup. It has taken over the city (and the country) for what seems like forever but I know I am going to miss all the people and the excitement.

Today is the last crazy sunday afternoon of the cup, in the sunshine getting ready to watch the final match...so a b/w city picture seems apt. Come on the mighty All-Blacks! :)

Pacific Showcase 2011

Pacific Showcase, The Cloud, Auckland 2011


Apart from the obvious sporty side to it, the Rugby World Cup is bringing so many interesting things to town. The food and music of the Pacific Showcase on a recent mid-week evening was just one our recent fun local adventures!
