I took a wee trip to Wellington and got to visit the wonderful @aurynn who runs our fine instance!
Taking off at sunrise with poor weather made for some interesting photo opportunities. Taken with a budget Android phone through a plane window, so don't zoom in too much, but gosh the world is really something huh.

Pretty bloody stunning eh ... August 2021.
Sunset view from Tarakena Bay (Wellington, NZ) across to the South Island as someone fishes off the rocks.

There are a handful of public places in the #Wellington region where you can spot Mana and Kāpiti islands at the same time. The path to the summit of Rangituhi is one of them.
Breaker Bay (Wellington) has a tractor parked/abandoned and it's always made me smile when I drove passed it.
So incongruous, but somehow fits.

You'll remember the Moa spotted on the cliffs of, appropriately, Moa Point - well check out the White Rhino!
Across the valley from one promontory to another I spied this rarest of all large mammals. Amazing eh.
You'll have to zoom in the see this magnificent beast in all it's glory, but I think you'll agree it's worth it.

I'm never quite sure what the mountain range is that one can see from the Wellington south coast - quick search and voilà, they are the Kaikoura Mountains - on the left are the Seaward Kaikouras, in the centre is Mount Tapuae-o-Uenuku (9,465 feet), the highest peak of the Inland Kaikouras.

"Women Are Better Than Men"
When it comes to politicians women are mostly better at it than men.
There are, of course, exceptions to disprove the law such as Liz Truss, Judith Collins, Pauline Hanson, and of course Boris Johnson's current wife.
Here's two spectacular wāhine politicians, Jacinda Ardern and Chlöe Swarbrick as depicted in The Backbencher Pub opposite the NZ Parliament.

When Wellington is having a good day, the harbour is flat, the sun is rising above the cloud covered valleys there is no finer way of going to work than the ferry.

"Scary Wander Twig"
Check out the front sensing malarkey, it's "I'm gonna eat you" face, and the apparent sucker feet with some pink shoulders.
All the time being a twig, a walking twig. A twig that lives on abandoned space ships and looks to fertilise all those that enter it's lair.
Nah, it's just a New Zealand Stick Insect, more from this New Zealand Geographic article: https://www.nzgeo.com/stories/stick-insects/
