this is a fancy shoe in down town auckland.  i wonder if it was lost or a very clever marketing thing ?  looks like whoever lost it doesn’t undo their shoe laces proper like.

this sign was one of the main reasons i knew we’d be ok if we moved to new zealand.  we saw it on our scouting trip in easter.  it’s on an onramp to state highway 1

this chap whizzes around auckland town picking up litter on his official litter moped.  he’s got a grabby stick and is able to spot and retrieve rubbish without getting off his bike.  he’s even able to drop it in to the bucket directly behind him where he can’t even see where it’s going.  genius stuff.
