Sunshine electricity!

As you can see, the panels are on the roof and the system ticking away. We have had hours of sunshine over the last 2 months so are certainly getting good results from the new system.
The media reckons that having 'green credentials' doesn't really help the country's carbon credits, but we feel it makes our footsteps more 'gentle' on the earth. Also it helps to offset our trips to family overseas.

January Sky.

Recently we have had some magnificent sunsets.
Here are some pictures taken one evening.


There aren't many trees close to us so we see so much sky! To the north we see 50 miles or do to the Bunyas which is due north. So because we have lots of sunshine from that direction (being the the southern hemisphere!) we are having solar power installed and it will be done next week. I feel really excited about it as it has been a dream of mine for years. With having our own water from the mill and rain tanks and now the solar powered electricity, I feel we are making fewer demands of the works resources - well some of them anyway.
