070701 - NZ River

This was how dark it was when Uncle Wong and I reached the River.


The valve technician had not over slept and had opened the valves and the River flowed at full force.






The resident spiderman cameraman, as usual on sundays, arrived early to set up is cameras to try and shoot some of the spiders and other insects waking up.

You shoot it, I shoot you. And Uncle Wong shoot TY.




TY making another attempt for the sebaraus while we made our way to Ah Hoe's.






Railings at the river. In a remote place like this.
Sometimes I really wonder if it is really necessary to over protect everything.
It spoil the scenery of this beautiful place.


This is Ah Hoe.




Uncle Wong's plain water and kopi-O.


Ah Hock's daughter's mee-kia dry.






Not a single strand was left.




Uncle Wong showed me his antidote for boo poisoning. Which didn't work of course.




A length of split bamboo on the form.


A meticuleous record of the bamboo rods he is crafting.


This one is for me. 2007-003.










All heat treated and ready to be tapered.




CY's split bamboo is still in the store room.
With some spares for PH.
