Just a little homesick

[growler_south]

I havent been home for a while: 'home' being Karangahake, where I was born and lived until I was 14. You can see 2 of the houses I lived in above (well, you could if it was a better image)

Its a beautiful place, the cold clean river rushing between bush-clad hills and rocky cliffs of the Karangahake gorge.




I need to go for a swim.

Went for a drive that way with the MR2 club a few years ago, and it is indeed lovely.

A small town (village) boy indeed.
But it's lovely! Thank you for sharing!

Gorgeous.

Reminds me of how much I miss the GREEN of the part of Oregon where I grew up.

I think Eva Gabor said it best when she said
"Darling I love you but give me Park Avenue"
