I took the photo as proof, ran back to my car and got outa there fast. Anything can happen at Foxton.

What you are looking at is the steep bank of sand beside the river where the sand hills end, just before you reach the actual beach at Foxton. I took some photos of the bank just because I thought the patterns and textures of the sand were like a work of art. Then when I got home I noticed that there was a suggestion of a face or 2 in the pattern. So I added the eyes of my cat and dragged the sand to enhance the shape of the mouth or tongue. Then finally I dragged some of the ripples in the sand to make it all a bit weirder. The sharper and more contrasty horizontal pattern near the top is where the steep bank levelled off to the top of the sand hill.

Enjoy the biplanes over Foxton Beach today?

Rick from Foxton Beach

Reminded me of a January interview on the summer version of RNZ Nine to Noon, with local Foxton character Kenneth Irons. He discusses how he nearly got a Concorde… View moreCleaning my deck and looked up to see two old biplanes in tight formation escorted by an old monoplane flying low over the area. Wow.

Which 'summer' are you having?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

It's been a mixed summer so far for New Zealand. Much of the country has seen record breaking temperatures, drought-conditions and scrub fires. But in recent days the West Coast and Southland have experienced heavy rains, flooding, evacuations and closed roads. Our thoughts are with affected.

Our skies have been coloured by smoke blown over from the Australian bushfires, meanwhile Wellingtonians are just stoked if they get to see the sun.

Hi neighbours,

Are your knees giving you a hard time?

See how Peter Williams found help from using a NZ made relief cream.

Looking for a small bench

Aaron Damian from Foxton

Hi people, I'm looking for a small stainless steel bench with sink in it.
Anywhere between 1-2- meters long will be fine. Used is fine as long as it's not damaged. Dents and warps are fine but tears and deep scratches not so good.(For my cheese kitchen)
