The following is a glimpse into the life of William Lewis Townson – a man who was dedicated to his botanical work, and had an expert knowledge of the native birds of New Zealand.
I bought trimaran Jiwa in the year 2000. Apart from the odd bit of rot in the deck which has needed repair, there have been no problems over the 25 years I have sailed her around the north-east coast of the North Island.
Jiwa in the Indonesian language means ‘soul, spirit or vital force’. It is also the name given to a 28-foot trimaran yacht by its builder Wayne and his wife Jill who were practitioners of an ancient Indonesian meditation at the time.
The word photography comes from the Greek phōs meaning light, and graphé meaning drawing or writing. So, photography literally means drawing or writing with light.
