I came across this view while wandering on the Karetai Track and having gotten to a point where I decided to enjoy the view. Looking through the fence I found so many things I loved about what was in front of me. I think my favourite is the way the wire cuts up the image creating 25 mini images for the eye to explore.

I didn't have any particular reason to be at the Otago Museum apart from it was a good place to shelter from the passing rain. Some hours earlier I had left home, foolishly thinking the distant clouds that looked a tad ominous out at sea would continue their meander up the coast, thus avoiding my location. Well, I was wrong! The rain passed directly over the city, forcing me to take some shelter inisde. Fortunately I was near the Otago Museum and leaving a line of wet foot prints across the foyer as I entered. I then happily enjoyed looking at nothing in particular, including the hull of a waka taua. The war canoe which measured nearly 40 metres in length was made in about 1840 in the Whanganui River valley for Paturomu, a chief based at Koroniti.

If ever the term "the peace was shattered" applies to a place or village, then Araomana must surely be it. The news media around New Zealand on the 14th November 1990 was fixated on the tiny, seaside village where 13 people died by being shot by local David Gary over a 23 hour period. Today there is a lovely memorial to remember those 13 people with the words: Loving memories of those who died at Aramoana on 13th November 1990. In memory of: Garry Holden, Jasmine Holden, Rewa Bryson, Jim Dickson, Tim Jamieson, Vic Crimp, Leo Wilson, Dion Percy, Ross Percy, Vanessa Percy, Aleki Tali, Chris Cole, Sgt. Stu Guthrie.
