Nom-nom! A tremendously complex shot by the mysterious RK. Note how RK chose a perspective avoiding face-to-face confrontrations with the little critters, thus preserving the full creature privacy. Also note the screws mounting the statuette on the wodden pedestal. Ingenious!

Hello and welcome to all the new visitors that found to us via the lovely Sunday Star Times article “New Zealand das beautiful?” by the fantabulous Grant Smithies.
Usually I am misunderstood, misinterpreted, misquoted and generally misanthropic. But Grant truly captured the idea and motivations behind this project. Thanks a lot for this… I really mean it!
Oh, and please don’t forget to send Grant Smithies (or me) photos for our collection! Our eternal gratitude and perhaps a couple of broken windows will be your rewards.
You know, mocking Dunedin is nearly a bit too easy. As if the brave inhabitants of this small- to medium-size University town wouldn’t struggle enough already with their image as the last bathroom before the Antarctica (shush, Invercargill!), their silly dialect, and – since the demise of K.C.’s –, the lack of any classy night life joint.
Don’t get me started on the other past Dunedin oddities.
Then again, some entity must have signed the permission for the erection of these stone “molars” in Dunedin’s harbour. Somebody… – or should I say thing? – thought that 6 roughly sculptured stone… thingies next to a quite magnificient harbour basin would enrich this place. And let me guess: thy name was city council, wasn’t it!
Well, poor senseless council thing: you erred. A little rule of thumb for the next times: tartar-shaped ropes are fairly reliable indicators for poorly developed artistic visions.

I know, I know… the hipsters are all on Google+ now. Anyway, for you oldtimers and slowly moving folks – also known as New Zealanders, har, har – here’s your link to top-notch social networking, 2008 style!
Gore’s infamous monster trout! I’d say let’s collect every picture available of this on the web and stitch them together to a Matrix bullet time sequence… – if only there were more shots from other vantage points…

The same old struggle: the broadband internet is fairly fast, compared to the speeds in Kenia’s lesser developed areas, but the heat pump is only warming up the first half meter of the hallway and the outside of the toilet door. Bummer! More here.
