Theme Day: Men at Work

Nelson City Council (I think) funded a Chinese Garden at one corner of Queen's Garden to celebrate Nelson's Sister City relationship with Huangshi, Hubei Province, a while back; I don't know how long these things take normally, but the garden has been in the making for at least a year. The other week, however, I finally found a couple of guys working on it. Yay! This place is going to be fantastic when it is completed. And this is, I think, going to be my favorite feature in the garden.

Today is Theme Day. Other DP Blogs have also posted "Men at Work" shots. Please click on the numbers below to view them.

I would not have thought of finding a worker would have been hard. Glad you worked so hard to get your photo.

Great shot. The Chinese Garden in Sydney is one of my favourite spots too - willpublish a pic of the wall there soon!

Meg in Nelson said...

Thank you for your visits, people.

Denton, on this particular project, it's been bl**dy hard to find anybody working.

Eddie, you are NOT vanishing.

Lachezar said...

One more place to visit when some day I make it to Nelson again!

The Men (it seems are not that hard) at work!

Good one!

Cheers!

Gerald England said...

been watching so many men at work today I'm tired out!

Helen said...

Nice shot!

Lavender Lady said...

the round gate yard...very nice. I can see where this would be your favorite spot. It could be mine very easily.

Kate said...

I've been struck by how many workers on these theme blogs work with their hands! Great tribute to our unsung heros throughout the world!!

Rudy said...

I too like the perspective or vanishing point.

Ben said...

Thank you, all!
I guess the hand is most versatile tool and good finding, Kate.

We are sure come back there for checking progress, but can't wait the opening.

Meg in Nelson said...

Thank you for your visits, people.

Yeah, Ben, maybe in 2 years???
