This picture was taken at the peak of our autumn just about three weeks ago. Right now most autumn trees have dropped their brightly coloured but now unwanted leaves and are almost bare for their winter survival.<br />

During my wanders taking autumn photos (See them at www.cimba7200.blogspot.com) I came up a steep path from a gully and found myself on the grounds of the Waikato Hospital. While there I took the top picture of the crane. On processing the picture tonight I spotted the driver standing outside the crane-driver's compartment. The second photo is an enlargement of the first. That's a long way up!</div>Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03284871320390959400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857999727115434964.post-163289550071660092012-05-06T11:48:00.000+12:002012-05-06T11:48:09.782+12:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Catching up with the Classics</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every now and again I get a hankering to read a classic novel. Doing this I often find that the story isn't necessarily as we recollect it from movies or hearsay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Classic novels can be hard-going because of the style of language used and often unusual words which have different meanings in this modern age. For this reason, and others, the story lines just don't seem to flow as easily as our modern novelists writings do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mary Shelley who wrote this story was married to Percy Bysshe Shelley, the poet. The book <b>Frankenstein </b>was first published about 1818. </div>
