Gypsy Fair Last Spring @ Napier, Hawkes Bay ( New Zealand )

“The beauty of this country is becoming part of me. I feel more detached from life and somehow gentler. … I have some good friends here, but no one who really understands why I am here or what I do. I don’t know of anyone, though, who would have more than a partial understanding; I have gone too far alone. I have always been unsatisfied with life as most people live it. Always I want to live more intensely and richly.” – Everett Ruess

Riding Dirt Bike @ Taradale Dirt Park, New Zealand

Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.
