MY SUNDAY BEST MEME #147 - OAMARU, NZ

Welcome to the meme, "My Sunday Best", which is a photographic and creative meme that allows you to showcase your talents in imaging. Every Sunday, you can post here showing an image you have created using your camera, (and/or) image processing software, and/or painting and drawing in the conventional way and have scanned in.

The rules are simple:
1) Create your image and post it up on your blog;
2) Put the "My Sunday Best" logo image link somewhere on your post so people can click and come by here;
3) Leave a comment here once you have posted;
4) Visit other posters' blogs and be amazed with their creativity!

Please do not use this meme to advertise your goods or services. This is a creative meme and any inappropriate links or comments shall be removed immediately!

The theme is of your own choosing, so post on any subject you desire.

Oamaru (Māori: Te Oha-a-Maru), the largest town in North Otago, in the South Island of New Zealand, is the main town in the Waitaki District. It is 80 kilometres south of Timaru and 120 kilometres north of Dunedin, on the Pacific coast, and State Highway 1 and the railway Main South Line connect it to both. With a population of 13,750, Oamaru is the 27th largest urban area in New Zealand, and the second largest in Otago behind Dunedin. The name Oamaru derives from Māori words meaning the place of Maru (compare with Timaru). The identity of Maru remains open to conjecture.

Last week, Taken for Granted from the USA provided a post with a photo of a beautiful sunset, this being my favourite this week. Visit his blog for more great images!

  1. I'm always amazed at how old the buildings in NZ are. I obviously have no idea about it but have seen and read enough to know better.

  2. Wished I knew more of New Zealand and Australia! My niece, my kid's age, has already been there. Shortly after they got married they made a world trip in which they included both countries. Thanks for your kind comment:)

I love to hear from you, so please comment. I appreciate constructive criticism as it improves my skills as an amateur photographer.
