Hawaii may be a beautiful place - but it is made of only 1 kind of rock! While typing this I glanced up to my little pile of New Zealand beach stones I have piled up by my desk. I took a ton of photos like this on our South Island trip: The new carving is amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with the limestone! When we were in Picton they were having a 24 (or maybe it was 48?) hour stone carving contest. All these sculptors with a huge hunk of limestone and a mere 24 hours to turn it into something - some of the results were amazing (and some not-so-much). Weird to walk through the fairground and see all these carvers stretched to their limits. They all looked like zombies from sleep deprivation, and quite a lot of booths had been abandoned by sculptors who up and quit. Henrik
