My Fav Dress Nelson

Dress Nelson has been controversial, but overall I'm for it.  So far this is my favorite, but not necessarily the best.

Every Face Tells a Story

The best face I found so far. Read about it here.  I'm sad it's only temporary, as you can see, there are blisters appearing on this particular "sticker" already.

Art Gallery

It's worth visiting Suter for John Gully's work and collaboration by local artist's work inspired by John Gully.

Enactment of the First Game of Rugby in New Zealand

This is a first for Nelson Daily Photo in 5+ years of posting.  This photo was not taken by either of us, but by an unknown gentlemen seated at the back row of the VIP bleacher.

The very first Rugby game was reenacted at the Botanic Reserve yesterday.  By the time yours truly arrived at the Reserve, after seeing the Haka on the Cathedral Steps in yesterday's post, suffice it to say there was standing room only without the requisite connection/invitation to certain areas.  After circling around the field twice, I didn't see much other than back of pants, shirts and heads.  So I asked a gent to take a few shots to show the atmosphere of the place.

More information here and here.

Nelson is the birthplace of New Zealand Rugby Game in 1870 when Charles Monro returned from his schooling in England with a new game to show the locals.    

When you go to the Trafalgar Park tonight, enjoy and be safe.

Great Dairy, No Bull!

I am short of images I normally post here. So... I took this one just now after I came back from grocery shopping.  This one actually taste good, not too sweet.

PS. Italy vs Russia (RWC) in Nelson tomorrow!
