Welcome to the 1.1 version of tipson.net. All of the section and pages
have been revamped, and all of the old static information has now been
moved from this, the front page, to a Rationale and History page.
Jump straight into any of the sections on the left, or alternatively
go through the below headings (but beware, I make no promises about convergence,
and although broadly based around sections there are a few hard-to-find
(but hopefully worthwhile to look for) pages.
Update: 21 November 2004
I've been travelling again, this time to Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold
Coast and (of course) Canberra. Although most of the time I either forgot
to take my camera or forgot to take pictures. Which is a habit that I'm
going to try and get over. There are only a few new photos as a consequence,
and the (much promised but always under construction) web map hasn't progressed
any further. But I am starting to think a bit more about the web page,
if that's any consolation. And, of course, there's less than 6 months
until Eurovision 2005 in Kiev (which, co-incidentally, is going to the
polls today to elect a new Ukranian president).
Anyway, enjoy!
Something Old
|
Well, old in an evolutionary sense anyway. In the middle ground
of this photo there is a tiny piece of humpback whale popping above
the water. Fortunately the whales actually came closer to the boat
then this photo would indicate, although they wouldn't pose properly
when I was trying to take a photo!
You can look at a bigger version (and a few other photos) in the
Photos Section.

Something New
|
Kate: everyone...Everyone: Kate. New to the web site is the new
aspect of this photo. And I thought that it would give Dan and Kate
something to talk about (and someone to blame). This was the night
I cooked parmesan crusted chicken the other week. I think at this
time we were all taking a well deserved wine break.

Something Landscape
[ST: I thought I would leave this here, since it's pretty cool
and all] This is Mount Rangitoto, or at least the view from just
near the trig station next to the edge of the crater. Rangitoto
was caused by a volcanic eruption, which is not uncommon in the
Auckland area! Anyway, this is about 10 photos stitched together.
If you want to have a closer look, and see if you can spot the Auckland
skyline, there is also a medium
and large
version to have a look at.

Something Blue

I already used the whale photo, so I have to delve
into the past to find a photo with some water in it. This is the new
place (for those in the know: you know what I'm talking about). It
gives some idea of the view, although this is only about half was
to the top, so the view from the top pool is much more spectacular.
Oh, and the beach is pretty close as well!
