chase the light

Back in Wellington and my last day before heading home. A group of us headed up to Paraparaumu to do some quadbiking. The day would end tragically, but it would be the funnest thing I do in my whole time in Wellington. It had poured rain the day before and during a break in the weather today we had an awesome ride through the forests, hills, rivers, and roads. We weren’t stuck in mud nearly as much as the pictures show. It’s just he only time I could get the camera out while we took turns going through the deep spots. During my turn through this part of the trip I got stuck and tried to unlodge my bike. As I was doing this my camera flipped out of my front pocket and it plopped itself into the mud. I jumped off the bike and eventually found it stuck under the wheel. I pounced on it and quickly pulled the memory card out of it. Hopefully I had saved the card from any damage, but I wouldn’t find out until I could check it later. Two years and thousands of photos later, here’s the last photo my camera ever took. Mud’s a bitch. So long New Zealand, eater of cameras.
