Warkworth Satellite Station

The Warkworth Satellite Station. New Zealand sent its first phone messages to Britain by satellite in 1965 using INTELSAT-1, but the country really entered the space age in July 1971 when the Post Office opened its Satellite Earth Station at Warkworth, north of Auckland. NEC supplied the technology for the biggest advance in international communications since the opening of Wakapuaka cable station in 1876. Canon 70d, Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens.

I am a photographer who enjoys getting out and about when I can. I have a passion for motorsport and landscape photography, especially movement, whether it be slowing down water or a race car.
