Coming home from Aoraki Mt Cook one night, when almost all of Lake Pukaki was covered in fog, save one small section.
Of course, I had to stop. Dinner could wait.

In a park in #Aukland, #NewZealand, I think it was Albert Park but cannot remember for sure, there are lots of interesting big and twisted trees. Here's one of them, for #ThickTrunkTuesday.

A Light in the Darkness

Caught Selene slipping through a momentary gap before vanishing behind the oncoming rain clouds. She was rather shy this month!

Dewdrops on an apricot coloured Rose petal in my garden. I really enjoy the “getting out “ in the backyard and practicing my photography techniques at this time of the year, Sony a7iii and fe90 macro lens.

Bowen Falls, sometimes called Lady Bowen Falls in New Zealand is one of the most photographed waterfalls in the world, at least that's what the tour guide said.

Glimpses

I had a plan for tonight's moonrise, but the clouds had other ideas!
But I did rather like the glimpses of moon through the thinner clouds as it rose higher.

Obicular #granite, #NewZealand. An uncommon type of granite when #magma crystallization rapidly occurs around seed crystals.

A green blowfly waiting for the sun to come out and warm it up, I spotted the raindrops on the rose thinking it was a good image but just had to take the fly photo instead. Sony a7iii and fe90 macro lens.

This is a really good piece of news. Modern Slavery condemns over 40 million people worldwide into horrific lives of forced servitude. Many of the products we consume here in NZ are connected to Modern Slavery. (1/4) #nzpol #nz #politics #newzealand #aotearoa
Act Party's lack of support for modern slavery bill sees National team up with Labour
This is the first time such a rule has been used in Parliament.

Unemployment grinds at the soul of societies. A waste of human potential & at 5.4% a massive failure of Government policy. Investing in good jobs will be one of Labour’s biggest priorities.

"The case of the Hinematioro pou, which is now being returned from the University of Tübingen to the Māori community Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti on New Zealand’s north island, illustrates a restitution process grounded in cultural values."

Not an artefact, but an ancestor: why a German university is returning a Māori taonga
For the Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti, the Hinematioro Pou is the material presence of an ancestor.
