a postcard from the "winterless" north

clockwise: Hokianga Harbour, Tane Mahuta, Spartan, Cape Reinga

before heading overseas there are a few places i would like to see, places that are so close to home it's almost shameful that i've never seen them. 

with a long weekend and a few extra days, what better to do than take a road trip to the winterless north, or in my case last weekend, a very wintery Northland. with a Spaceship called Spartan we took off on a long weekend jaunt.
