I flew down to Christchurch from Rotorua today. I flew over these snow clad mountains, they looked amazing from above.
I am staying with Alex our granddaughter & her boyfriend for a couple of nights. The twin sister of William who recently stayed at our place in England.
Looking forward to tomorrow when I see a few winter scenes along Arthur's Pass.
Update: My grandson's been telling me that the worrying looking shapes are because cameras use a 'rolling shutter'. Apparently when you press the button to take a photo, cameras capture the image by scanning from top to bottom. But, because the propeller's moving so fast, it's moved by the time the bottom of the image is captured - creating this worrying looking effect!
I was wondering too @jokristina obviously wasn’t the wing falling off otherwise Pat wouldn’t be posting!
Have a great time in the South Island with Alex.
@jokristina@dide I'm also concerned with what is galling off the plane.. but sounds you have arrived safe n sound... enjoy Arthur's pass... look forward to the photos..
Ha ha I too wondered what was happening to the plane when I saw this but I can assure you we landed in one piece! Must be a trick of the light somehow!

You are getting about a bit on this trip aren't you.
