The Botanic Gardens in Windy Wellington and Christchurch are quite stunning. This photo is from the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. A truly wonderful and serene place in a truly inspiring city. The city is a real lesson for overcoming tragedy and putting your best foot forward when it seems all hope is lost. (Photo by Todd DeFeo/The DeFeo Groupe)
