'FEAR'

Huria Matenga - Maori Mona Lisa
A modern day Nelson storm - February 2018, heroic rescues by man and machine.

THE BOAT SHED - 2018
I don't usually do landscapes, however we live opposite this historic landmark restaurant and witnessed the unfolding events that nearly saw the Boat Shed restaurant float away in ex-cyclone Fehi on February 1st 2018.
The road was closed and no photographers allowed in, so the photos in the paper were ours.

The wonderful imaginations of children and their make believe worlds. As parents/adults we often pressure children to throw away fanciful ideas and follow truth. "Don't tell lies" we say. The irony is, many of us teach our children un-truths based on our own false beliefs.
Belief in separatist religions cause war & persecution. Children's beliefs are harmless.
