New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS.
This weeks challenge is :
BIG
Totara is a tree reaching 120 ft high and has a diameter of up to 6 or 7 ft through. Along with other conifers, in particular rimu, it usually forms the scattered, emergent storey stretching above the dense canopy of broadleaf trees. The bark is thick and stringy – that of P. hallii is thin and papery – and the leaves, linear and sharp pointed, are less than an inch long and very dark green-brownish in colour. http://www.bushtown.co.nz/totara%20tree.html
Big tree trunk
My son is 1,95 m tall. shows how big the trunk is.
This metal silver fern ball is in the center of Wellington, New Zealand.

Quite nice to see Civic Square in a post, stumbled on randomly. I’ve always found it a strange coincidence too, that the artist has a similar work in Canberra, so my home and my adopted home have an artistic connection.
Like the totara too!
That’s interesting!Could you tell me more about this piece of art?
The artist’s name is Neil Dawson. He had a piece at the entrance of the National Gallery of Australia, a globe, that was destroyed by lightning. He replaced it with a new piece called Diamonds: http://www.neildawson.co.nz/index.php?page=diamonds
His website has great pictures of a whole range of his works, and is well worth a look!
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it. I love to read and know more about things around me.

What a tree!
Sure is huge! Mostly the stand one one in the fields also
That is one huge tree! And that silver ball? Interesting.
Those trees are huge! I got some information on the sphere from foldedcranes.wordpress.com
Pragtige boom…
Ek moet elke keer inlog …. hoogs frusterend
Ek moet ook die eerste keer vir die dag inlog en dan is dit reg!
Beautiful trees 🙂 love their majestic ‘bigness’ and the sphere is awesome 🙂
They are really BIG! The sphere is also something special
What a magnificent tree… What holds up the silver fern ball? Just curious! 😉
If you take a close look you can see 6 cables attached to the buildings on the sides
The tree is amazing, but I have to visit one day to see that beautiful ball. New Zealanders have a lovely artistic flair and it shows in things like this.
Yes I agree, every now and again something special comes across
