This exceptional sculpture park is only open for public on a few occasions per year. Please visit this website for more information about the sculptures: http://www.gibbsfarm.org.nz/


THIS ONE IS SUSPENDING


THREE IN ONE PICTURE






MY FAVORITE ONE

LOVE THOSE EYE LASHES



IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN THAT ONE CAN TOUCH A GIRAFF


 4 ALPACA'S ON A ROW


SHAVEN




ONE OF THE MANY EXTRAORDINARY SCULPTURES




 AN EMU


QUITE IMPRESSIVE IN THIS TELETUBIE LANDSCAPE













THE WALK ON THESE GROUNDS INVOLVED LOTS OF SERIOUS CLIMBING

























WE WALKED OR CLIMBED RAHTER FOR 3 HOURS TO COVER THE MOST OF THEM - WE WILL NEED TO COME BACK FOR THOSE WE MISSED

OUR THIRD NEW HOME IN THE ECO VILLAGE

A tale from natural born small scale gypsies 


My darling cooking my lunch


our living room with a view


both of us laboring on our parking space


filling it up with blue stone chip


having a break before finishing our parking lot


voila - finito






Samuel correcting my sign on the top of the road



Indy scanning the fields for something to hunt or admiring the view - who knows?



Our house again taken from different angles and impressions of the daily sunrises we can admire from our bed.


 

I haven' t seen any other creature eating our kitchen scraps so enthusiastically 


Nearly every morning we host quite a few feathered visitors  bouncing around on our rooftop, which is
is very tempting for the pussy cat and thus feels the need to explore


the main view with the Brynderwyn's and the Otamatea river


See you later!

the BIG movie of me




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pfR0b6Lrfg

... gelieve op de link te klikken voor de filmpie op you tube ... dit zijn dan bewegende beelden in plaats van foto's .... especially for those who wanted to see me driving....
Film is opgenomen in de achtertuin van de eco-village, Mangawhai Heads, en in  Kaiwaka met de Brynderwyn hills op achtergrond.
.... vanwege copyright rechten heb ik er geen muziek opgezet...
