.....of a Sword
 
 
An Officer’s sword which is part of ‘Gallipoli The Scale Of Our War’ at Te Papa Museum, Wellington, NZ
This exhibition and ‘The Great War’ which is at the Dominion Museum shouldn’t be missed. Both are superbly presented.
 
For those of you who are familiar with Sir Peter Jackson and Sir Richard Taylor of Weta Workshop, WingNut Films and the Lord of the Rings films will fully understand the perfection of details.

Thank you for the comments, stars and hearts for the Bus shelter graffiti.
 I am so sorry I haven’t had time for regular visits to your journals lately. It has even been a struggle uploading blips, but the holiday is almost at an end and I will be home soon and more regular commenting will be much easier.
