Tekapo

A few snaps from a recent trip to Tekapo. The top pic is of the lake with a a magnificent concrete structure that looks to be connected to hydro electricity production. The next down is at the bottom of the the lake over flow gates.
The bench and apples are tucked away on the main road.
Tekapo seems to have numerous pine trees that have two main trunks. Could be something to do with the extremes of hot and cold weather or maybe the rabbits chew on the saplings?

Fairies wear undies

I find something a bit disturbing about a Fairy flashing her undergarments in such a blatantly flirtatious manner. It also seems a bit ordinary, I thought there was more mystery. This little one was glimpsed in a widow on the main street of Reefton.

War Memorial

I've been intrigued by War Memorials for yonks. This one in Reefton on the West Coast has to be the most well tendered one I've seen. The living floral tributes are bedazzling.
