Mega NZ Piccy & Photo Thread

Ok so i have blatantly stole this idea from another forum, so apologises..
(i know we have had similar threads and Comps but heres an all encompassing home for pics)

The idea of this topic is to simply post your photos and pictures of NZ, to create a massive album of members snaps, and then newcomers and users alike can see what NZ has to offer, and we can all get ideas for days out etc.

They can be of anything you like, everyday life, scenic vistas, tourist attractions, your family, your home, anything thats NZ
:cheers
If all works this topic will run and run for years :nice1 and might even earn a sticky topic if were lucky ;)

I will get the ball rolling:
