Residents in Aotearoa: Henderson times four

Henderson times four

With this post, I'm going to show you some sights around Henderson. And each time I take a picture, I'm going to then turn 90, 180, and 270 degrees, and take a picture at each of those points. I'm not talking north, east, south and west here. Just right angles from wherever I start.

Here's Swanson Road

Lincoln Road

Great North Road

Mt. Lebanon Lane.

The library

Toward the mall

180 degrees right, coffee and sushi kiosks

There's Pak'nSave

Just up the hill from our house:

90 degrees

180 degrees

270 degees

Looking down Great North Road in the middle of Henderson.

A little courtyard in front of the mall.

Up GNR. That direction is homeward.

Whoa...I've been spinning. I'm dizzy! -djf

I love the photos of Henderson. It is a beautiful city. How many people live in Henderson. We hope to be living in Henderson Nevada in less than a year. Amazing to think of the change coming but exciting also. McKenzie

Great perspectives! This is just the same kind of thing I would do - and have done - in my own neighborhood or on walks downtown. I counted 4 sets of 4 pix - each giving a clearer sense of the town you call home - and many of them familiar to me as well.

My deer blind, a place outside of time and space.

This is a picture of my deer hunting blind. I built in in 1975 and used it until about 2010. I'm publishing this picture and text on November 15 of 2022, the opening day of Michigan's rifle deer hunting season, to remember all the years I spent sitting there and occasionally harvesting a deer. I think that the meat I provided for my family was only a small portion of the benefit I received from hunting in this manner. Of greater value to me was the time I spent alone, watching the forest and its many components interact. I had time to unwind from the stresses of my work, to appreciate our world, and even sometimes to pray. That blind was a refuge to me. It was cozy, and comfortable and I spent much more time filming the activities of not only deer, but bears, racoons, turkeys, squirrels, hawks, and once, even a snowy owl, than I did harvesting deer. May I suggest to all of you that you try to find some time and a place, where you can be alone, and where you can ponder and appreciate your life and your place in the world. It does a body good. -djf
