My current favourite outdoor place is probably Te Pukatea Bay in the Abel Tasman National Park, whether I hike there or (preferably) kayak.

Awesome photos everyone!  Some nice looking (and movie famous!) places.

I've spoken with the official 5th Anniversary GAW Adjudicator...



...and she has agreed to let the competition run till the weekend.  I'll do a random draw Sunday morning pacific standard time (March 3) and post the results.

Is she impartial though? Seems a bit one-eyed...  ::)

Thought I would post a couple more.
First is a place I'm sure was abandoned during the dust bowl for lack of water. I always thought of it as busted dreams.

 Walked over to the little well house after taking the second shot .........it was full of rattle snakes.

That reminds me of the video to Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' where he is visiting his old (derelict) house.

This is a photo I recently took in Scotland - It is Loch Shiel, west of Fort William, and we were the only people in sight. It was totally silent and perfectly serene.
Interesting fact - If you turn 180 degrees from where I took the photo you would see the Glen Finnan Viaduct in the distance, which was the railway viaduct used in the Harry Potter films.

First off congratulations on 5 years.  :cheers:

The first picture is of my backyard which is one of my favorite places to be and one of my favorite outdoor friends. Mrs Kitty is an excellent tree climber, she has all the tools she needs built into her hands (paws). Not nearly as exciting you guy's other pictures but it really sums up my life.

And Aloha, I have that exact same wood stove in your pictures, just thought that was neat.

@cranked  :tu:.  The stove is a beast, so much so that I want one for my home.  I would love to build a mini cabin ( man cave ) in my back yard and put the stove in there.  Yours looks to be in a great place.

It helps me keep warm in the winter, it's actually my second stove, my main wood stove is much bigger and lives in the basement. I use the little one by itself when it's not crazy cold and together with the big one when it is.

It was made in Norway, they sure know how to make a great stove. When your primary source of heat is wood it helps to have options.

Over breakfast I asked mrs BCNZ to pick three numbers between 1 and 24.  I figured she's just as random as any internet number generator  :D

"Pick three numbers between 1 and 24, label them third, second, first"
"Why?"
"I'm giving away knives on the internet"
"Is this that weird burger thing you are doing?"
*Official 5th Anniversary GAW Adjudicator shambles over to try get some toast*.

Here are the results!

Third prize (Skinth M-Shield) goes to number 14 - Aloha.

Second prize (Victorinox Electrician) goes to number 06 - Poncho65.

First prize (Victorinox Climber with Pacific Yew Scales) goes to number 24 - Zoidberg.

Congratulations!  PM me your addresses and I'll send them out.
