Skiing in Australia/NZ


It looked as if the whole sky was aflame. I marvel at God's beauty and creation.

I took this photo at the evening on Perisher Blue Mountain, NSW, Australia 2004.

Amazing what a simple camera can do.

Perisher Blue NSW. Hotham, Bulla, Falls Creek. And also Cardona, Coronet Peak, Remarkables at Queenstown New Zealand. 1997 - 2005. Good times. Some of the best moments in my life were spent there - living in hand carved stone cottages with open roaring fireplaces, drinking red wine, vodka lemonade, cooking great food and just chilling out looking at a winter white wonderland.

Or doing silly things like placing a sixpack of Lemon Ruskis outside to chill- only to wake up next morning and finding it buried under 6 feet of fresh snow. My friends nearly died laughing watching me dig out the LRs...

All of this adventures would not be possible if not for one remarkable person - Joy Khoo, good friend, organizer extraordinaire, skilled dentist, exercise queen, and a wonderful Christian.

Great Times, Great Friends. Hope to go skiing with them soon.

Why can't these moments last forever?

But with virtually everyone else married and settled down, paying off mortgages and investment properties and planning for their 2nd baby - I doubt it :(
