WoW! Dinosaurs, Rockets & Creativity
I paid one of my infrequent visits to our Auckland War Memorial Museum today. As its title suggest, it is a mix of 'memorial to the fallen' and a historical showcase of a wide range of diverse collections.
From Dinosaurs and a jade buffalo from the Summer Palace, the to a German V1 Rocket, this museum has it all. best of all it is free to Auckland ratepayers.
The temporary exhibition when I visited this summer was the New Zealand event, the World of Wearable Art (WoW), which will later embark on a world tour to other museum.
If you get a chance to see WoW you should as it is inspirational and highly creative in the costumes on display.

Whangarei
It's many, many years since I have stayed in this regional city in Northland. Back then it was just an overnight stay as I considered whether to take up a museum job or not.
These past two days we have been spending in the city to escape the Xmas bustle of Auckland.
A visit to Whangarei Falls today was a highlight. Here are some images of the city and the Falls

Hazy Images & Leaf Masks
These images were sent to me by a friend in Singapore. His office is in a heritage building with windows that are not airtight, so the space is trapping the effects of the current haze pollution.
Sometimes adversity brings out the best in people. Twitter has been trending #mustbethehaze, with some original tweets (should that be excuses?)
And a tweeter with the nom de plume @TakeMyHandNFly posted this image, taken from the local Singapore news. I think it shows great innovation.

| A new style in anti-haze mask! Looks like a strip of banana leaf (?) and I'm not sure of its effectiveness |
