Looking out through the windows of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu (New Zealand).... This $47.5 million facility opened in 2003 features two floors of exhibition space, two educational activity areas, an auditorium, a café and wine bar, two retail outlets, and a Sculpture Garden. The name ‘Te Puna’ honours waipuna, the well spring (the actual artesian spring on the site) and ‘Waiwhetu’ refers to one of the tributaries in the immediate vicinity, which flows into the Avon River. ‘Waiwhetu’ may also be translated as ‘water in which stars are reflected’.. .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.

Wonderful shot and framing on this building, Eve! The actual angles and those created work in harmony and the reflected sky makes it all come alive. I really like this.

I love all the lines of this and the sensational way you framed it. Excellent! Great idea for that frame that really draws the attention and compliments the subject so well. It sounds like you have quite a wonderful center there.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Great angle and clarity Eve. The framing works very well for it also. Nice job.

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.

Looks "super cool" Lyn. The framing goes well with the architecture.
