Bytes Europe · From Monaco to caravan life: Why Kiwi Formula One star Mike Thackwell quit the limelightAlso remaining might be some of his wavy locks, which - combined with his handsome looks - made him a sporting heart throb in Europe in the early 1980s.But one thing missing from Mike Thackwell’s coastal home are lasting reminders of his life in the fast lane; an existence that once saw the New Zealander signed for a trio of Formula One teams over a four-year period.Given how Thackwell has turned his back on his racing days, it’s more likely remnants of his more recent careers – such as being a helicopter pilot on North Sea oil rigs, or mining

Tern with catch of the day over elvish landscape

There are several reasons why New Zealand are used for adventure films.

Light and colours are two obvious reasons.
Flora, fauna and landscape are others.

Personally, when watching the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, I am a bit disappointed they do not really shows how awesome New Zealand is.

Better visit Aotearoa in person.

Photo shows a white, black headed sleek sea bird, a tern, with some small fish in its beak. It is flying over a landscape in pastel, soft colours. The sky is slightly clouded with light blue morning colour.

"Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home..."

A sea lion and her pup. Taken with a proper, physical distance.
It is an early morning just after sunrise north of Dunedin, in Otago, South Island, Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Thanks to Adele for lyrics describing the scene.

Photo shows two fur seals, a grown up mother and a small pup. The mother is looking searchingly and warningly towards the photographer. The pup is looking curious in the same general direction. The seals are in shades of brown fur from light to dark, with some black and white details for the mother, and mostly darker brown for the pup. They both have very visible whiskers. They are on a light grey sandy beach, with a small rock the size of the mummy seal in the background.

Traces of a morning walk in the Otago Peninsula, north of Dunedin, New Zealand

Take nothing but pictures,
Leave nothing but footprints,
Kill nothing but time,
Keep nothing but memories,

I accept and am a firm follower of these travellers ethos and credos.

Photo shows a morning at the beach. The sky is blue with scattered clouds. The rising sun washes out the left side of the photo as a visual source of light. The lower half of the photo shows light grey sand patterned by the freshly recessed water tide. Only a set of foot steps to the right side breaks the natural appearance. In the background there are a stony and hillside landscape dramatically in shadows and foggy mist. Sharp stone formations including a small heart shaped keyhole is visible just off the centre opening between the rocks which makes the entrance to the beach.
