My Corner of the World

This is the lighthouse at Cape Reinga, the northernmost point you can travel to in NZ. The difference in the water is where the Tasman Sea (the foamy water on the left) meets the Pacific Ocean.

This is also a sacred place to the Maori where the dead start their journey back to the Motherland, Hawaiiki-A-Nui. Click here to learn more.

cape reinga lighthouse and why I don't worry

Some of you wonderful bloggy folk have wondered why I don't put watermarks on my photos so they don't get stolen. Well, that's just my choice and there are several reasons why:

1. I don't post anything that I would get upset about if someone 'borrowed' it. I mean, there is always a way to get a photo off the internet--even if you don't allow right-click :)

2. I don't want to take away from the photo by plastering my name across it.

3. The photos I post are awful to steal! I resize them in Photoscape down to about 900px on the long side. That makes it faster to upload, good to view on your monitor and pretty crappy resolution if you try to make it bigger.
