This eclectic collection of photos show a little more of the recent Royal Show.

Though there were other activities going on from time to time, such as wood cutting, etc, I never seemed to be in the right place at the right time. So there are no photos of these activities.

This Royal show is in Hamilton? I was following the sad news in Christchurch. Many years ago, the Easter Show in Auckland was free. Now you have to pay.

Hello Dave,

what a nice pictures of this special day. The cover of the horse is also fun to watch. Your photos are very nicely sharp. Compliments.

Greetings, Helma
