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.












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 Parachuting (2)

Speaking of skydiving: this is perhaps the type of rural arrangement you don’t want to encounter. Mad scientists – that was yesterday. Prepare for the MAD GARDENERS!

The Beauty of Rebuses

“Apple – T – rain bow – trees – kiwi mansion”? I don’t get this rebus… anyway, classic 1989 NZ vintage awesomeness by the always overachieving Travelling Light.

The Beauty of Directions (2)

A japanese car in 1989’s Kaiteriteri. Have a look at the Google Maps location to find that nothing has changed, except the colour temperature. Quite reassuring.

Happy New Year! This way? That way? Stuff left on the clothes line? It stays complicated.

The Beauty of Casino Testicles
Is there a better way to celebrate the festive spirit than to present the testicular decoration of Christchurch’s Casino? I don’t think so.
This post is a shameless regurgitation of a “The Worst of Perth” article. The Worst of Perth is our – far superior – brother in the crime of regional mockery. Visit them to find out more thrilling geological details!
Happy Christmas, and have a couple nice days, y’all!
See you next year!

The Beauty of Frog Rock

Prog frog around the clock! Frog Rock, Weka Pass Railway. We are getting dangerously close to postcard beauty here. Must find uglier stuff, must find uglier stuff…
