F is for Flag: New Zealand flying a possible new flag

In March New Zealand will have the final referendum on the choice of their country's flag.

Either to keep the original flag or this new one.

We have gotten very fond of the new option, strong colours, the silver fern dominant and it still harks back to the old flag, connecting history but looking forward.

S is for Solace of the Wind: Wellington Waterfront bronze

Solace of the Wind, Wellington Waterfront

The 2 metre high bronze of a man perched on the edge of the beautiful waterfront as he leans into the infamous wind is a Wellington icon. The sculptor, Max Patte, said the view and the feel of the wind soothed his soul and inspired him. It continues to inspire and delight.
