Just for the next 10 days. I'm going up to the northern end of the country today to help a weaver move her looms out of her living room and into her new weaving "shed". And she has gazillion looms! We'll be painting the walls, dismantling and rebuilding looms, and meanwhile I'm stealing any good ideas or color schemes I can find.
Anyhoo, Ben will be holding down the fort all on his lonesome, so please come and visit and drop a friendly "Howdy" to keep him company.
This wonderful ensemble is made with the old carpet from Nelson Airport's terminal building. The story goes that the terminal building was first built, carpet of this design was installed; years (decades?) later, when they refurbished the terminal building, they custom-ordered carpet of the exact same design!! Thankfully, after the recent refurbishments this century, we have more muted colors and a less, shall we say, noticeable design.
From the Nelson Public Art & Sculpture Walks (March 2006) map: "Renovations to the original airport building added local art, including stainless steel panels with rock inserts by Darryl Frost. The panels, simulating riverbeds and featuring eddy spirals at the ends, required 52% to be holes for accurate wind distribution. The rocks in the piece were collected from around the region." This theme is repeated in the front entrance of the terminal building.
Sky over the Nelson Mail building, Wednesday 18 July. 
Post Office, Kiwi Bank, City Council Office... This clock tower is one of our landmark in CBD.
This is the view from the top of the Christ Church Cathedral Step. You can see the clock tower of our City Council/Post Office building and sea at beyond. (B&W version)
Opposite of this fantastic sculpture, this lollipop sign of BK is elected recently. I with BK will rethink this to be more like some sort of art than such an agree commercial sign post.
