Tern with catch of the day over elvish landscape

There are several reasons why New Zealand are used for adventure films.

Light and colours are two obvious reasons.
Flora, fauna and landscape are others.

Personally, when watching the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, I am a bit disappointed they do not really shows how awesome New Zealand is.

Better visit Aotearoa in person.

"Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home..."

A sea lion and her pup. Taken with a proper, physical distance.
It is an early morning just after sunrise north of Dunedin, in Otago, South Island, Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Thanks to Adele for lyrics describing the scene.

For Otago O-week the Students’ Assn sets up "Tent City" outside the museum, where vendors serve a continuous audience of fresh students.

This year, as part of their Boycott Divest and Sanction (BDS) position, the OUSA "disallowed" Domino’s Pizza because of their role in Israel's ongoing genocide.

ODT adds, "the Israeli Institute of NZ & the NZ Jewish Council have been approached for comment."

ODT didn't contact any Palestinians?

_The Evening Post_, 17 December 1924:
Women in Print.

Mrs. Julia Annie #Tayler died on Saturday at her residence in #Littlebourne, says the “Dunedin Star.” She was a daughter of Mr. David Carey, and was born at #Waikouaiti on 21st April, 1841, being the first white child to see the light in #Otago. Having a clear memory, she could call to mind the arrival of the John Wickliffe and the Philip Laing, for she was taken down to the Otago Heads to see those vessels come in with the first of the company’s #settlers. Her husband, Mr. John Tayler, died 37 years ago, three years after they went to live at Littlebourne. He was son of Mr. Thomas Tayler, of Port Chalmers. Mrs. Tayler took an active interest in Trinity Methodist Church, of which she was a member, and she closely identified herself with the Otago Early Settlers’ Association, but, being of a retiring disposition, she avoided prominence. The members of her family are Mrs. W. Waddell (Wellington), Mrs. Shanks (Gore), Mrs. R. N. Wilson (Timaru), Miss Emily Tayler (Christchurch), Miss Mabel Tayler (on the staff of the High Street School), and Mr. Thomas Tayler (Bluff).
