Ok, not really HD because the resolution is only 720 x 400 and not 480, but who cares. The performance is just awesome. Watch it and enjoy one of the greatest songs of all times.

Hey guys, i’m back at town after a fantastic trip to Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. Together with my girlfriend, i had a great time exploring New Zealand with a Camper van, driving from the southern island to the northern island. I just want to mention two of my personal highlights of this trip. The first one is the Shotover River Jet in Queenstown. Just one word: Thrilling! I have no clue how the driver was able to manage not hitting the rocks.  Several times i thought that in the next couple of seconds i have to die…but fortunately i survived. Definitely a must do if you are visiting Queenstown.

The second highlight of trip was the boat cruise on Milford Sound. Milford Sound is the most famous tourist site in New Zealand and a must visit for every traveler. The landscape is just breathtaking and probably one of the most beautiful places in the world. You need some luck, because 2 out of 3 days it’s raining – if i remember it right – but even under rainy conditions it’s worth a visit.

Uploaded a large chunk of new pictures on flickr, including some additional night shots from Brisbane.

A nice night shot of Brisbane’s skyline. Details: Nikon D70, Tripod, Exposure 5 sec., aperture f/9, ISO 200, RAW.

Added a couple more pics on Flickr from Perth.

A night shot of the Sydney Opera. Photo taken in Raw mode with my Nikon D70 and some small tweaks in the photo editing software. I hope you like it as much as i do.
