happy medium

After spending Christmas in on the Coromandel, a whole crew of us headed East, to Gisborne and the Rhythm & Vines festival. Gisborne is where a lot of NZ’s fruit and wine is produced, and the festival itself is on a vineyard. Think low flat ground, high skies, surrounded by cliffs and blue seas. The festival was a 3 day event and I had claimed free tickets as I had designed the stage scrims and graphics. Got to see some great acts, highlights included Santogold and Ladyhawke, but the real beauty was being bale to escape to the beach each morning for some R&R:

Surf is really good in this part of the country. Typical surf beach, full size photo here
