Queen Bee

Did you know that right, right, right in the centre of the Beehive (that's NZ's iconic parliament building that looks like a ...beehive), right at the very, very bottom there's a circle of marble floor tiles surrounded by a Stone Henge-like circle of lift shafts .... and right in the middle, middle there's one solitary circle of marble tile that is the centre, centre, centre of the building. I'm a shape person and I find things like this fascinating!
Yesterday I was visiting a buddy Moana, who's an opposition MP, and after having a coffee in the Beehive (because she wasn't allowed to leave because of imminent implosion, or some such government rule of urgency), we walked through the bottom lift shaft area and I exclaimed, 'oh my god, what is that stone?! Is it the exact centre centre centre of the building?' And she said yes. So I made her stand on it for a photo. Bless.
Occassionally I have an, 'I'm only going to use one solitary prime lens day,' and unfortunately this was it and my wee 35mm couldn't really handle the magnitude of the coolness of the solitary circle tile in the centre of an entire circle of lifts. But I got a nice picture of Moana at least.
This is definitely my sweet shot of the day: Moana and the super cool tiny circle tile that holds the entire Beehive together.
