Xmas day, Wellington NZ
Harbour entrance from Cook Strait
First time here since 2008, used to kayak to Pencarrow Heads on far side on days like this, look left and right for shipping, and get paddling

^ Is that black fella going au naturale?
^ of sorts
A Wellington favourite, Max Patte's Solace of the Wind (2008) leans north into the harbour's harsh gales while displaying its own inner tranquility.
"This city and its elements have been the inspiration for this work [...] the location where the sculpture will reside [...] is significant for me. It represents a time and place where I have felt so much. Wellington is truly a unique place to live."
The artist, Max Patte was a sculptor at Weta Workshop, and originally loaned the sculpture to the city for a year in the hopes of finding a patron.

It looks like the guy with the black vest on is trying to turn the girls away from looking at his nob.Quote:

https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...024x576%29.jpg Never have I seen frogs this late in the season. Just strange weather. The south west is getting what we should have, 20*f.
^Where in Wisconsin? Looks familiar.
The fox , so it's a frog on the fox. I'd elaborate but busy packing for a road trip.
Can your gf say "road trip"? Quite funny mine is at it. In fact I'm thinking it could be a new thread. No silly not the road trip. More like sayings in my native language that she just soulds silly saying.
Peace out, the frog and the fish.
Indeed . . .Quote:

Fair question by the simian, though
Sorry KingWilly, I had tipped a few back and read into that too much.
So the answer is, Midwestern English. As I heard it said in Monty Phython and the Holy Grail, "How do you think I got this outrageous accent you silly king."
John Cleese I'm not. Fetch the cow............run away!
^ :rofl: And no one bats an eyelid.
^^ Where was the photo taken? I'm guessing Dusit zoo, but it could be in a different country for all I know.
Interesting anyways.
Yep Dusit. It's great getting around Bangkok with no traffic now:)
I'd be on my toes if i saw that coming towards me! That's the stuff off nightmares.
Boll's travels have now taken the fucker to Komodo? En route to his private island in the South Pacific no doubt.
Water Lilly flowers in a swamp this morning.

I took a walk along the beach in Hollywood Fla, two weeks ago, to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic.

Love that Sunday traffic.
Sundays and night time are a great time to belt a bike around BKK. 4-5 lanes of perfect asphalt with f-all cars on them, beside the odd machete wielding taxi driver. :)
Braved the white out and snow drifts in the 4WD to visit the highest pub in the Peak District, England.
Expecting a roaring log fire and a pint of warm bitter but the b'stard pub was shut.
