Lake Wakatipu, on the way to Glenorchy. Central Otago, New Zealand, day 6 Oct 26, 2011 on our trip down south.
'Using my Pentax' I used both camera's to see what differents there may be!
Queenstown is a resort town in Otago in the south-west of New Zealand's South Island. It is built around an inlet called Queenstown Bay on Lake Wakatipu, a long thin Z-shaped lake formed by glacial processes, and has spectacular views of nearby mountains.
William Gilbert Rees, along with fellow explorer Nicholas Von Tunzelman, were the first Europeans to settle the area. Rees was in search of pastoral land, and after an initial visit returned in 1860 to establish a high country farm in the location of Queenstown's current town centre. However the Rees’ farming lifestyle was to be short-lived. In 1862 gold was discovered in the Arrow River, a short distance from Queenstown at which point Rees converted his wool shed into a hotel named the Queen's Arms, now known as Eichardt's.
There are various apocryphal accounts of how the town was named, the most popular suggesting that a local gold digger exclaimed that the town was "fit for Queen Victoria". It is now known for its commerce-oriented tourism, especially adventure and ski tourism.

Miriam Hernandez works long hours to pay the bills at her family's trailer. Her mother has a bad back and knee. (Don Bartletti / Los Angeles Times)
Reporting from Athens, Ga.—
When she is at home, Miriam Hernandez eats fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. And corn bread. And corn tortillas.
She has a little sister, Ana Maria, whom everybody calls Guera -- Spanish for blondie. She has a little brother, Jesus. Everybody calls him Bubba.
She sings along to Sinaloan bandas when she is busing tables at her uncle's Mexican restaurant out by the shuttered chicken plant. She sings along to country hit-maker Luke Bryant when she's driving in the family van with her white Southern mother.
She is 16 years old, and a native-born Georgian. She has a learner's permit and would like to take the driving class that would allow her to get a license -- that elusive prize so many of her foreign-born friends will never have.
The class costs $230, but the money from her two jobs is spoken for. Since her stepfather, an illegal immigrant named Abigail Carrillos, returned to El Salvador to avoid a forced deportation, she has stepped up as the family's main breadwinner.
In October, unpaid bills nearly prompted the utility to shut off power to the family home, a single-wide trailer with a leaking roof, gashes in the rain-softened drywall, and a framed photo of Abigail staring down at his family from the vantage of some happier past.
Which is why Miriam drives through Athens tentatively -- overcompensating, at times, with a litany of sass.
"Trust me, I'm not gonna hit your ugly car."
Donna has been pushing Miriam to acquire the means to vault beyond such troubles for good. She is a sophomore, but is taking enough classes to graduate a year early.
On Friday morning, the kids were dressing and primping for school, Miriam in an '80s-style off-the-shoulder T-shirt, with big hoop earrings and stylish rectangular glasses.
"Me traes Q-Tips, please?" she yelled to Guera. Her sister handed them over.
One of Miriam's homies stopped in and drove her and Guera to class. She has two kinds of friends at school, she says. The Latino kids, her homies. And what she calls her "academic friends" -- the white kids in her college prep classes, though she rarely hangs out with them after school. She doesn't hang out with the black kids.
She and Ana may be half white, but in the self-segregating culture of high school they are lumped with the Latinos. So that is what they consider themselves, and proudly so. When they visit their step-grandmother in Alabama, they bristle when she tells them to stop with all the Spanish.
In the short term, Miriam wants her brother to gain a little self-confidence, maybe through sports. She wants Guera, who has a wild streak, to keep out of trouble. Guera, 15, is already in ROTC, which Miriam considers a positive step. "They teach you how to be a good citizen," she says. "That's one of our goals."
She wants Abigail to come home and for her mother to be happy again.
She wants to make enough money to pay for more than utilities. Her mother's intermittent contributions to the family income come from informal work as a fixer of sorts, the gringa you call when you are being picked up by police or become otherwise entangled with government. She works for tips or, if tips aren't forthcoming, for free.
On Friday evening, Donna raced off when a man named Manuel called to say he'd had a fender-bender with a BMW. With her mother away in the van, Miriam had no way to get to her housekeeping job.
The next morning, she was hustling around her uncle's restaurant, serving pozole and sopa de mariscos to patrons longing for a taste of home and to adventurous college kids lured, perhaps, by the five-star reviews on Yelp. ("Don't worry about the skuzzy location: just go here."). A black woman wandered in. She had grown fond of the tripe.
Miriam's uncle said the job was the best gift he could give her. He could just give her the cash, but what would that teach her about the way the world works?

Edinburgh Cow Parade 05-2006
CowParade is an international public art exhibit that has been featured in major world cities. Fiberglass sculptures of cows are decorated by local artists, and distributed over the city centre, in public places such as train stations, important avenues, and parks. They often feature artwork and designs specific to local culture, as well as city life and other relevant themes. After the exhibition in the city, which lasts many months, the cows are auctioned off and the proceeds donated to charity.
There are a few variations of shape, but the three most common shapes of cow were created by Pascal Knapp, a Swiss-born sculptor who was commissioned to create the cows specifically for the CowParade series of events. Pascal Knapp owns the copyrights to the standing, lying and grazing cow shapes used in the CowParade events.
The concept of "cow parade" has its origins in Zrich, Switzerland, in 1998 by artistic director Walter Knapp, it is based on an idea which was realised in the same city for the first time in 1986: Lions as the symbol of Zurich were painted and then on display throughout the city.

Flemington Green
Flemington Green aims to bring sustainable living education to the Vietnamese, Chinese and East African communities in Flemington. Though workshops and field trips, at least 15 people from each community will learn how to reduce their own environmental footprints and they’ll be given free products to help them get started.
As you'll see, workshops with the Vietnamese community are underway. A group of 18 women have been attending weekly sessions at the Vietnamese Welfare and Resource Centre on the estate, learning about saving energy, saving water (with help from our partners at City West Water) and reducing waste.

Better On Black
This image and song is dedicated to my wonderful daughter AZ Karen, you are the best daughter a Mom could ask for. I will always be by your side and I will always have your back.
Your time has come to shine,
All your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine .
Love you . . . . . MOM
Listen to Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
When you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Thank you Flickr Friends, I appreciate your visits, comments, invites and favs.

The Archbishop Molloy players and coaches gathered together in a circle near midfield for a prayer. That’s become a custom after practices and games over the last 10 days, since junior defender justin thompson was shot in the back leaving a party Oct. 21 and was left paralyzed from the waist down.
“Win or lose, we’re fortunate to be here and to be able to play,” Stanners coach Andy Kostel said he told his players. “Even if you’re not playing, [you’re fortunate] to be able to be out on the field. That’s not true with Justin.”
Wearing armbands with the colors of the Jamaican flag and with a Jamaican national team jersey hanging on the bench where Thompson would have sat, Molloy defeated Holy Cross, 4-2, in the CHSAA Class AA boys soccer intersectional quarterfinals Tuesday afternoon at SUNY Maritime in The Bronx.
New York Post
Molloy players make a circle on the field to say a prayer together after the game. Molloy players are wearing Jamaican arm bands to support teammate Justin Thompson, who was shot and paralyzed leaving a party two weeks ago.
New York Post
Molloy's Sam Carter (from l.), Marco Rodrigues and Gabriele Maurello celebrate Carter's goal in the first half.
Thompson is of Jamaican descent and his teammates always tease him about its national team’s lack of success. Thompson, a jokester, chose the Jamaican armbands when Kostel asked him what the team can wear for him during the game. The main thing he wanted, though, was a victory. Molloy will meet Fordham Prep in the semifinals 6 p.m. Friday night at St. John’s University’s Belson Stadium.
“It made me feel good,” Thompson told The Post via phone Tuesday night. “It made me feel like they were playing for me.”
Thompson’s father, Donald, left his son’s bedside and sat in the bleachers to watch the match. Donald addressed the players afterward and told them their support has been touching. He said when the entire team visited Thompson at Cohen’s Children’s Hospital in New Hyde Park, L.I, on Sunday, it brought the nurses to tears.
“The Molloy family has just been overwhelmingly supportive,” said Donald, whose son also plays basketball at the school. “It’s just been unreal. … Sometimes you do feel like you want to break down and then the phone rings, and it’s someone saying, 'We’re here, we understand.' It’s just giving us hope.”
The players were given a boost by the visit almost as much as Thompson was. Surgery last week removed the bullet and showed that the spine was not punctured, only bruised. Thompson, who has been in good spirits since Day One, has begun to feel sensations in his legs.
“A lot of people were nervous what I was gonna look like,” Thompson said of Sunday’s visit. “It was like a relief when they saw me. I laughed and joked. It made them do the same. That’s what I want. I want everybody to feel the same, too.”
Molloy (8-3-5) attempted to get back to normal Tuesday. Mike Rodriguez scored on a 28-yard set piece past Julian Ceko in the 53rd minute after assisting on Sammy Carter’s goal in the 39th minute. Robbie Lago got Holy Cross (2-13-2) within 2-1 in the 57th minute and then was taken down in the box to set up Anthony DiMaggio’s penalty kick in the 76th minute that made it 3-2. Nick Matusewicz scored in 72nd minute for Molloy and Denes Kostel sealed it with a penalty kick with 6.3 seconds left.
“He wants to win just as much as anybody else,” Rodriguez said of Thompson. “It’s motivation for us. He needs us to do this for him. It’s gonna take his mind off things. It’s needed for him.”
Doctors are cautiously optimistic about Thompson’s future. He’ll be moved to Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains this week.
“[Monday] night I said to him, 'The pressure’s somewhat on us to win for you,'” Kostel said. “I said, 'Wow the pressure is on you to win for yourself.'”
