Ok, the title is totally misleading. I just managed to navigate my way through the "upload image" process entirely by iconography. Took a few tries but here they are. This is very much an abridge collection. I took more than 2000 photos in NZ and later went through and selected 234 as worthy of showing to others, should they have too much spare time on their hands. Here are six of them. Yeah, it was hard for me to cut it down but you (statistically speaking across the entire population) have an attention span of less than 3 minutes. Hrmph.

| A Takahe. Once thought to be extinct, these burly cousins to the coot (I think) are alive and working on a comeback. The only natural populations are in the Fiordlands of the South Island but this guy lives on Tiritiri Matangi which is a protected island near Auckland that is now home to a number of indigenous and endangered species. |

| Two things NZ has in abundance. Green. Sheep. I took this picture on our way to see glow worms in the caves of Waitomo. |

| Milford Sound. The single most spectacular spot in NZ that we visited. |

| The view from above Routeburn Falls on the tramp of the same name. (Tramp = NZ for hike) |
Heh. We did many of the same things - Tiritiri Matangi, Waitomo Caves, and the Routeburn.
