Snapshot Saturday! (lemmy.nz)

Photo Friday didn't last long (although I may have warned you that I'm terrible at sticking with things) but it's a new month and a new weekend so let's try a weekend challenge instead.

Snapshot Saturday is more about taking candid shots of everyday things, rather than hunting out the perfect shot for a particular prompt. So feel free to share a photo of something from your weekend - before and after shots of gardening progress, the shiny finish on your freshly cleaned vehicle (haha) or a good sunset.

Rules: No NSFW, no shots you didn't take yourself.

That's really cool, I bet it makes for an awesome experience. I'm keen to come try one day, as soon as I work out what else there is to do in Westport 😀

[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Haha, there's some fantastic mountain biking, lots of amazing walks (day and multi-day), some good self-drive history tours (old coal and gold mines etc), horse treks, white water rafting, surf schools and more.

How does someone get from Wellington to Westport without an 8 hour drive? 🫤

[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

3h on the ferry then 4h on the road ;) (technically only a 4h drive!) Or fly with SoundsAir

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah, my quick google mapping must have included the ferry. 4h isn't quite as bad. A day or two in Nelson on the way could work too (we know someone there).

The next issue is that after the Christmas break I'll have about 1 day of annual leave left. Can you solve that problem? 😆

Haha, sadly, no.
