NZFF

I'm talking about the NZ landclass colour here! Compare the default textures to a few of these photographs I've taken recently on holiday and tell me what you think:

Lake Taupo:


Te Mata Peak:






Overlooking Hastings:


In fact, I think that if New Zealand ever decides to create a new flag, it should be a two toned striped one, with the bottom being a sandy brown colour like the dry grass covering the country at the moment, and the top being a bright blue shade representing the sky above it!

Here are some other unrelated pics that I took on the way and at Hawkes Bay last week:









Cheers,

Love the shot of the fumarole on Napier-Taupo highway too.
