I’ve got a couple
of videos on the go but haven’t had a lot of time to finish them off because I’ve
been doing some gardening. Well, it’s more of a slash, burn and demolish than anything
else. Mind you the garden is fighting back – I’ve got blisters and bruises and sore
muscles to show for it.
In the meantime here
is a new version of a previous video.
Last year I got a
new computer and new software so I’ve now re-rendered the Round-Raro-by-motorbike
one I made in January last year (2011).
The resolution is
much better.
There are some changes
on Rarotonga, the main one being in the Avatiu harbour area. The old Marine
Resources building is gone and the foreshore there is being remodelled. The
harbour is has been lengthened and deepened with the fill being used to extend
Punanga Nui market although you can’t see that from the road. The other changes
around the island involve ‘beautification’ which unfortunately in far too many
places has meant hacking down trees.
Strange idea of
beauty!
NB: The trees and
other vegetation that I’ve been slashing and burning are all invasives or weeds
in the process of taking over the world and I shall be planting plenty of new
trees to take their places.
