Photos from our road trip down the South Island of New Zealand in January. Dunedin, January 201, 2015 New Zealand.
Dunedin Chinese Garden is based in the city of Dunedin, in southern New Zealand. It is located on a site next to the Otago Settlers' Museum close to the centre of the city, and close to other numerous city tourist attractions, including the Dunedin Railway Station and the Queen's Gardens.
The garden is named Lan Yuan (). This name was specifically chosen to be significant on a number of levels. The character lan () is the third character in the Chinese name for New Zealand (Xin xi lan, R), as well as being part of the name of the Yulan magnolia, popularly thought of as the flower of Dunedin's sister city Shanghai.
The garden commemorates the contribution of Chinese people to the history and culture of Dunedin. Dunedin has had a long history of Chinese settlement, with many Cantonese people settling in and around the city at the time of the Central Otago Gold Rush in the late 1858 to1860s, only some 15 years after Dunedin was founded. Over two percent of the city's population is of Chinese descent as a result.
The first Chinese Mayor of the City Mr Peter Chin, who was elected in 2004, was the driving force behind assuring the Chinese Gardens was built as a treasure and asset to this city and the future generations of all people. Of course most of the Chinese heritage naturally belongs to its own peoples.

Made a quick visit to Little Zig Zag Falls the other day. Beautiful falls, I wish the river was flowing a tad more to create a bit more cascades, but I got what I got ;-) Happy Waterfall Wednesday to everyone!!

This one is really from deep in the archives. January of 2007 to be exact just before dawn at the Great Falls of the Potomac. I always liked this exposure but felt it needed a bit of processing help that I couldn't give it back then. Times change as do abilities so I thought I'd give it a go. I "lightly" processed this single exposure through Photomatix for a little added contrast.
Pretty pleased with how it turned out. :)

Zig-Zag is a brand of tobacco-rolling papers that originated in France.
The iconic zouave soldier on the front of Zig-Zag products is known as the "Zig-Zag man". The Zouaves were prestigious French light infantry regiments linked to French North Africa between 1830-1962.
The choice of a zouave as a Zig-Zag icon stems from an incident in the battle of Sevastopol (1854-55, during the Crimean War). The story goes that when a soldier's clay pipe was destroyed by a bullet, he rolled his tobacco using a piece of paper torn from a gunpowder bag.

I like the diagonal angles created by the roofline, its shadow and the board.

Conditions here fit perfectly ... especially since the hail storm added so much leaf matter to the swamp and lake ... explains why I have been seeing a lot lately!
