Photo of a single flower, amongst many, on the Magnolia tree in the grounds of Couldrey House, Wenderholm Regional Park. This flower was about eight inches (200 mm) in diameter.
Here is the magnolia tree on which the previous photo of a flower was taken. You can actually see this tree in the Satellite view of the map at the highest resolution! It's just below the icon of the flower on the map.
I believe this is a distant view of Rangitoto, from Wenderholm.
Panoramic view made with Hugin and finished in the GIMP.

Panoramic view of the river, tide coming in swiftly, at the Northern end of Wenderholm Regional Park. I used Hugin to stitch this view together and finished it in the GIMP.
