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!
Another day, another bridge-geysir combo! Today reporting from Blenheim, New Zealand’s centre for wine, bridge-geysir combos and beaver statuettes.
Jenny M. of the lovely german New Zealand Travel blog weltwunderer.de sends this wonderful shot of Lake Taupo. With some stuff in the foreground. I have no idea why anybody would consider this being ugly, given that the picture elements, composition, light and colours work beautifully together with the bacchanalia subtext (alcohol, shadow, plastic bag, the jungle)… – but hey, what do I know.

Obscure secrets of the Microsoft Corporation, Part 14563: soon after the infamous MS Office help Clippy started drinking and, a bit later, to smoke crack with the Thesaurus, it was deported to a penal colony named New Zealand. There it fades away, deformed and deranged, in front of a ministry, cynically titled Department of Conservation. It’s a mad, mad world!

Everybody who has ever traveled New Zealand’s South Island knows them: Cromwell’s crazy fruits. Still, you wouldn’t believe how hard it was to finally find in Marilyn Moffat a friendly traveller and photographer that allowed me to bring you this delicious Kiwi speciality. Thanks, Marilyn, also in the name of the worldwide Ugly New Zealand fanclub fanbase readers reader!

Splish, splash… another spectacular entry for our little collection of truly evil fountains, ruling the surface of the southern hemisphere. Other strong candidates here and here.
Thanks to the amazing Mason now with Google Maps Location.

Wot, wot, wot!?! I didn’t post this cleverly placed fountain yet? Silly me. Here you go! On the upper area of this gem.
A playground! Kiwi-style! Thanks to our contributor Gareth Bedford for this masterpiece. He writes: “I remember it was 1995 when I first saw this playground, the centre-piece of the Ettrick childrens entertainment complex, situated right next door to the takeaways shop. It seriously has changed little since then. Maybe faded a bit.”
