The Eagle Has Landed – Near Queenstown, New Zealand


The eagle has landed. Snapped this shot of a Haast Eagle sculpture on the road from Queenstown to Glenorchy at the head of NZ’s Lake Wakatipu.

Glenorchy-based sculptor Dan Kelly used century-old steel fence standards from a high country station to create this 1.2m high sculpture of the now extinct bird, in its time the top predator in the New Zealand.

It’s one of a number of eagle “pieces” he has created along with similar works featuring New Zealand birds.
