As an Australian, I must admit, I envy the Kiwis for the bounty of scenic beauty they enjoy.

Very cool! But why does each photo remind me of Don King?

Beautiful! We didn't see these trees when we went to the south island of New Zealand and visited a museum with info about the South Pole. Pretty neat, I would have loved to have seen them!

There used to be a grove of oak trees on the Texas coast in the vicinity of Rockport and Fulton that looked like this.

I haven't been down to Rockport in years so I don't know if they are still there, it would be a shame if they are not there.

There are similar trees along I-10 in the general area of the windmill farm near Palm Springs.

I like the use of the natural windbreak in this photo:
