Flowing…………..

……….........………Lace


I was mesmerised by the beautiful ever changing lace-like patterns as the water flowed from the Maitai dam near Nelson, NZ  down the spillway to the pretty river below.

Design for the new Maitai Water Supply Scheme was finalised during 1984. Construction started later that year and the work was completed in 1987.

 A report in the local paper estimated more than 10,000 people visited the fundraising Mapua Fair yesterday. This is 5 times the normal population of Mapua!
The photo of the children on the ferris wheel has been popular with many visits and lovely comments, stars and several hearts. Thank you everyone.
