Auckland Lantern Festival
The eighth Lantern Festival which welcomed the year of the pig in the Chinese zodiac at
Albert Park, featured hundreds of laterns, including new designs from China. This festival
is organised and sponsored by Auckland City and the Asia New Zealand Foundation. This
page has been a huge learning curb as this was the first time ever that I used my tripod.
Quote for the week
Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very
interesting photograph. If it were, there would have more to say. - Author Unknown
