Part 2 of the collection: “Best of Ugly New Zealand Edition South Island (BOUNZESI)”. Have a lovely weekend, y’all, while deciding if the South or the North wins. For me, it’s clear as Lake Wakatipu.

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 Sheep

A shot for true New Zealand connoisseurs: green pastures, sheep, fences, corrugated steel, barrels, yummy fruit (in the making). Carefully composed and captured by the indispensable Travelling Light.
While we are it, have you seen the sheep cyclone? Sheep Cyclone Video on MSN.

The Beauty of Cromwell’s Monster Fruits

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!

It’s impossible to describe the sheer awesomeness of this pre-digital-era photo by Dave Smith. Gladly, I don’t have to.
