Travelling into Nelson at the north-west region of South Island I happened, by chance of the annual Kite fair, New Zealand. It was a brilliantly clear day but with poor wind for flying.

After an hour or so this 20ft Octopus gradually made its way into the sky. I focused on the long flowing tentacles to show the abstract contrast of its shape and colour against the blue sky.
