Another one ticked of my bucket list. The famous rock formations of Castle Hill, Arthur's Pass. The core of the milky way is just to the right of the largest rock in the middle. In the bottom half of the core, with a little imagination, you can make out the shape of New Zealand's flightless bird called the kiwi, nicknamed the galactic kiwi. The beak and head are black, it's body is light coloured and it's black legs are dangling below.
