Bluff, New Zealand.
Two photos I took, 17 March. The art deco Foveaux Hotel and a mural facing the hotel lawn. "Good as Gold" - by Shane Walker (Tauranga) featuring Meri Leask, radio operator.

The Waikato back just dropped the ball before he dotted down for no try.
Southland now has a goal line drop out.
Justin Marshall says this is good for Waikato and gives no benefit to Southland even though Waikato has done all the offending. I totally agree with him.
If there was an option to Southland I'd take a scrum 5 and at least be able to clear my lines.
But there isn't.

If you look at this photo from the 1980's and see the same scene today, you could be forgiven for thinking that not much changes on the Main Road through TΕ«Δtapere... but if you track the history of the buildings and various owners and businesses, you may be surprised to learn there have been quite a few over the many years:
