My favorite photo from the trip.

My favorite photo from the trip.

This was taken at the Botanical Gardens in Christchurch. I spent 3
hours walking around taking pictures of the flowers. This is by far
one of the best shots I have ever taken. I can't explain what it does
to me but it makes my happy when I look at it.

What more can I say about this area. The cost of the flight was worth
every penny for views like this.
