A Tokoroa local site
By Arthur H Hiscock
Purpose I have had this site for many years now, just a place for me to put stuff of interest and as the main doman for my Local on-line weather station.
Data from this station is updated in near real time on Tokoroa Info Weather Site
Spirit of the forest At the top of the page is an image of Greenman, a local Icon that featured in countless Selfies taken by people both local and visiting, he was cruelly executed in November 2018
His crimes Being considered a symbol of paganisim by some influential persons and being old
The Truth He is no more pagan than any of the many other talking poles (totems) on display and his old age problems had a simple engineering based solution that would have extended his useful life
The Solution Before he was executed a digital scan was taken so he could be recreated. But of course that costs money and the SWDC has none for this at the moment.
My Photographic activities I have been a photographer for many years, often doing pro bono sessions for non-profits and people close to me (Who understand free as in beer :) I am not limited to still photography doing video as well along with Drone photography and video. My photographic subjects are many and varied, Landscape, Still life, Portrait, Events, Architecture, Vehicles and so on.
IT Technology I have a serious bent for IT and technology. My collection of tech toys is exhaustive. I work as a senior IT person at the local Pulp and Paper Mill. I create manage and host a number of websites for myself and others and manage several small networks for non-profits .
Interests My interests are many and varied, I like SciFi. pretty much all the main genre and have a few Star Wars/Star Trek and Dr Who figurines decorating my lounge.
