It is not Friday but this picture by Simon Woolf is too good to ignore. He is currently doing a tour of the South Island.

"Bucket List! I'd never photographed the wandering albatross previously. Today I photographed a few. The adult here is the smaller of the two birds, and is apparently 35. The younger albatross is around 18 years old. Totally thrilled with this pic, as we had a big swell out there today."
