The Velvet Queen
If you enjoy going to the movies, especially at the Lido here in Hamilton (which is so convivial) - and you love animals, photography and exotic places, then the Velvet Queen is a movie you must not miss
It is absolutely, hands down the most beautifully photographed documentary I have ever seen. It is of the quest to film the Tibetan Snow Leopard (once upon a time thought to be extinct)
The scenery is unbelievable, and very rarely photographed, the animals exquisite and the comments/poetry that quietly accompanies the two men while they film, is just beautiful.
It truly is a doorway into a pristine world, unfettered by humans, free of noxious fumes, but full of the power of nature, in harmony with the animals that depend on its extreme conditions to survive
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
