For once I managed to get to a car fire fast enough to get some images before it was extinguished. More here.

While shooting the high seas at Haumoana this afternoon I managed to capture a poor fellow getting himself and his camera drenched by a large wave.

More at NZPA Images. HB Today photographer GT was not getting as wet….. however he did seem to be enjoying himself.

Photos are on NZPA of the fourth alarm coolstore and third alarm packing fires today. Photos are now also in the Gallery – scroll to the bottom of the main page.
