Those Christchurch cows…
Christchurch
It’s heartbreaking to see the devastation in Christchurch at the moment after the massive earthquake on the 22nd of February 2011.
New Zealand Red Cross has launched the “New Zealand Red Cross 2011 Earthquake Appeal” to support those affected by the recent Christchurch earthquake.
All funds will be used towards the New Zealand Red Cross response to the disaster, including transport and provision of goods. As weeks go by, different needs will be identified and Red Cross, there for the long haul with your help, will be meeting them.

One of my favourite photos from a trip to New Zealand in 2008. I love the way the Kiwi Cow poses like it’s the purple Milka Cow in Switzerland. In the background you see the beautiful surroundings of Christchurch.
I tried to create a fake HDR effect on this photo and really liked the result. I know not everyone likes the over-the-top HDR look in photos so here’s a clean version of the original photo as well:
