Good luck...maybe?




I was going through some old photos this morning and found this one from 3 years ago when we briefly stopped in Taupo on our way to Ruapehu. It seems I took this photo of this Asian or Indian deity that someone put up on a tree for some reason or another, good luck maybe? I must've taken a photo of it at the time because I found it interesting.

I remember this day as it was 0 degrees celsius at 7am which was the point when we stopped and had a walk around during our journey.  What do you think of the little deity - any ideas?

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

I'm afraid that Indian or any other deities for that matter are way beyond my ken.

What a strange item to find sitting in a tree :)

I think it's really sweet Amy but not sure why it might have been placed here. I'm still thinking about that O degrees, yikes 😱

No idea what it could mean but she waving to you. Maybe wishing a good day to all those who see her.

Tyrconnell, also spelled Tirchonaill, was a kingdom of Gaelic Ireland, associated geographically with present-day County Donegal in Ulster, which has sometimes been called County Tyrconnell.

It does make me wonder why someone put it in the tree. Maybe an offering of some kind?
