Issodhos... I have to keep reminding myself cos sometimes I think there may
just be some hope for you:-). Queenstown, Aotearoa-New Zealand... our suns
just done the same - over Lake Wakatipu and down behind a mountain range.
The only things spoiling the scene are the commercial development (let us
show you nature in all her grandeur)and the absence of anything
approximating winter. Where has winter gone? We used to have 4 seasons down
here - now we have something that feels like the meteorological equivalent
of a global fast-food chain. The end is nigh.
