clutch Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) Dont think that I'd like to be out there on a dark windy night by myself By the way that pic is of the Manukau Heads. Water flows behind that "face" into the Manukau harbour......at quite a rate of speed. It is a harbour on the west coast.........however only an hour from me on the east coast The tides on each coast are way different Edited June 14, 2005 by clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky. Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 If you look very hard at the pic you will see an outline of a head. To me it looks like "The Count" off Sesame Street. Top looking pic there clutch. cheers Hooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very close to making us another island That concludes our class for today kids Edited June 14, 2005 by clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jocool Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 PROPOSED NEW SITE RULE! I am soon to propose a new site rule that will ban Clutch from posting pictures of paradise while everyone is at work! If he MUST post pictures, it should be done on a Friday afternoon, so that we all have something to look forward too! Do I hear any one seconding the proposal?????
