People, I’m slowly running a bit low on new material. That means…
1. Time for our gazillions millions thousands quite a few dunno, maybe a couple dozen? three friends to send new material, puh-leese!
2. Time for cheap reruns of lukewarm oldies: let’s start with a lovingly complied collection of the “Best of Ugly New Zealand Edition North Island (BOUNZENI)”. Sounds a bit like a hungarian car brand, if you ask me.
Keep calm, Dunners, I’ll follow up with the “Best of the South” these days.

The Beauty of Fountains… Returnz!

A fantastic addition to our collection of oddly cropped, dark and heavily zoomed-in fountains. I think fountains and monstrosities are clearly becoming my favorite tags. More fountain fun here, here and here.

Evil fountain strikes back!

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.

More Beauty Fountains

New Zealand and its fountains… a love-hate relationship. Strong on the hate side, but at the same time also… not very warmhearted. See also here.
