Hi everyone, can we do a Photo Friday?

@sortofblue@lemmy.nz used to post them, but I haven't seen them for ages and @Dave@lemmy.nz said it'd be okay.

Theme: Something you like!

Rules: no NSFW and has to be a snap you took yourself.

I couldn't find any recent photos I've taken that I would describe as "Something I like", but I guess I don't not like giraffes? Have some giraffes.

Rode up a steep hill and found a decent bit of weather this morning. And a rainbow down the other side, too.

That's really pretty. What beach were you at?

[-] Panq 2 points 2 years ago

Karioitahi beach, right on the boundary between Auckland and Waikato.

Christmas 2023 on Lake Taupo

[-] liv 4 points 2 years ago

Amazing sky! I've never sailed on a lake, is it much different in feel to the sea?

[-] Username 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Depends significantly on the lake (size, surrounding terrain etc). Taupo can be pretty unpredictable. You’ll have no wind at all and then all of a sudden be on your side. Beautiful though and great swimming. Highly recommend!

P.S. I have also sailed very different boats in lakes vs. sea so that’s another factor to counter in.

Nice photo! Is it yours? (the mandarin (?) tree)

[-] liv 2 points 2 years ago

Tangelos! It doesn't belong to me but it's where I live. The tree is about 40 years old, we eat it and some of the windfall gets repurposed as bird feed.
