Been a busy week with little time to write. Almost the weekend though, so hopefully I will find some time then!

Between bad weather an coming down with another bug, just a quick post today from a recent visit to the Auckland Art Gallery.
Nga Toki Mate Whenua – Axes Felling Trees, Kill the Land
1983
Tony Fomison (1939-1990)
“I became attracted to Maori culture because here was this culture produced in the country – an oral culture based on the love of the land, and love of the old and the young ones. In other words, a past, present and future.”

Spotted in a playground, this wagon will either be very familiar, or not familiar at all to some of you out there. A creative remake of Fred Flintstones car, brought back childhood memories for me. To be fair, I was not around for the original 1960′s screenings of this pre Simpsons family, but TV here in NZ re-ran everything for many, many years. I expect it is still on one channel somewhere here.
Shot on the Samsung Galaxy S2 using the Vignette App. Post B&W conversion in Gimp.

Rolling around at the speed of sound
Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow
Can’t stick around, have to keep moving on
Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out
Must keep on moving ahead
No time for guessing, follow my plan instead
Trusting in what you can’t see
Take my lead I’ll set you free
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I’ll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I’ll make it through prove it to you
Follow me!
Oh yeah!
Danger is lurking around every turn
Trust your feelings, got to live and learn
I know with some luck that I’ll make it through
Got no other options, only one thing to do
I don’t care what lies ahead
No time for guessing, follow my plan instead
Find the next stage, no matter what that may be
Take my lead, I’ll set you free
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I’ll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I’ll make it through, prove it to you
Follow me!
Follow me!
I’ll make it through, oh yeah!
