 The Beehive is one of the most iconic buildings in NZ. As I happened to be in Wellington for a few days, what better location to pick for the shot. ~3000 motorbike riders protested at the site later in the day. I (for my sins) had to spend 3 days in the basement assessing emergency management software. I wonder if the politicians take time to smell the roses.

IMO the flowers in the front of this are distracting...your buildings by themselves look more interesting

Interesting take. Does the Beehive show the spirit of NZ. I'm not convinced but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
