As the weather forecasters promised, the weather packed in this afternoon. I had planned to go for a stroll after dropping into the mall, but unprepared for the rain just didn’t manage it today.

Looking over recent outings, I selected ‘totem’ for today’s posting. Located by the Lake House Art Centre, I am always drawn to totem or statue like creations. Rapanui/East Island is on my top five list of places I want to one day go – mostly to see the giant stone statues that dot the small island.

In post processing I made some adjustments with the saturation and color balance. I also tried out a plug-in filter ‘national geographic’, which does render an image reminiscent of the old National Geographic pages.
