Christchurch botanical gardens on a not so sunny Sunday afternoon walk... just get to the park and the sun disappears! August 26, 2012, Christchurch NZ.
The Christchurch Botanic Gardens, located in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand are botanical gardens founded in 1863, when an English oak was planted on 9 July 1863 to commemorate the solemnisation of marriage between Prince Albert and Princess Alexandra of Denmark.
The Gardens sprawl over an area of 21 hectares and lie adjacent to the loop of the Avon River next to Hagley Park. The Christchurch Botanic Gardens have a variety of collection of exotic and local plants of New Zealand.

This autumn has highlighted some interesting colour combinations. I took this a while ago but was hoping for better weather as it was a very grey day. Unfortunately the leaves have now gone so I'll have to wait for another year for better light. It was the colours that caught my eye. In the foreground is a Rowan tree but I don't think it is the usual variety as the berries were quite orange rather than red, I think the leaf colour is different too. Behind the Rowan is a Common Ash which has gone a rather bright yellow (I've never seen so many yellow Ash trees previously). The next one is an ornamental Cherry, it too has gone an interesting colour. I'm sure that whoever planted these did not think of their autumn colours.
Just given the saturation a bit of a boost otherwise its sooc with a little crop.

One of the most frequent questions asked by advocates and industry alike is “what is the value of the inclusive tourism market?”. There are surprisingly few studies that have examined this question. Below is an updated extract from an article that presents a summary economic estimate studies (Darcy & Dickson, 2009).

The Altiplano (Spanish for "high plain"), Andean Plateau or Bolivian Plateau, in west-central South America, where the Andes are at their widest, is the most extensive area of high plateau on Earth outside Tibet. The bulk of the Altiplano lies within Bolivian and Peruvian territory while its southern parts lie in Chile and Argentina.
The Altiplano plateau hosts several cities like El Alto, La Paz, Puno, Oruro, Potosí, and Cuzco. The northeastern Altiplano is more humid than the southwestern, the latter of which hosts several salares, or salt flats, due to its aridity. At the Bolivia-Peru border lies Lake Titicaca, the largest lake in South America.
The Altiplano was the site of several Pre-Columbian cultures including the Tiawanaku and the Inca Empire. Spain conquered the region in the 16th century.
Major economic activities in the Altiplano include mining, llama and vicuña herding, and services in the cities. There is a fair amount of international tourism.

We did a 2000-km long car road loop in the southern part of Altiplano region, Argentina, starting in Córdoba, and going way up north across barren mountainous landscapes, scattered settlements, lonesome volcanoes and endless salt flats. Altiplano is a special part of the world, indeed, and definitely one of the most amazing landscapes on the Earth.
Here, we were driving from the remote settlement of Antofagasta de la Sierra to Salar del Hombre Muerto salt flats and further to Susques settlement, passing remote and eerie high altitude landscapes of the Argentinian Altiplano.
