Photo of the day (11.17.08)
I have to admit that I didn't know that creature on top of this shack was a crayfish. But I was sure that at this shack you would get seafood. At first I went "ewe" when I saw the image, but a second later I was licking my lips thinking of grilled garlic lobster. The picture has been taken by user The Wide Wide World in Waipapa Bay, New Zealand. Although it's photo difficult to get wrong, I still think it's a cool and sharp shot of an obviously unique shack.

Ahh, the crayfish of Waipapa Bay in beautiful Kaikura. I shot that same photo, but from a different angle. What a beautiful spot that is!

As Brenda wrote, Waipapa Bay is in Kaikoura which is on the upper eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island.
Kaikoura is a Maori word. "Kai" means food, and "koura" means crayfish (salt or freshwater), so the area has always been well-known for its abundance of the spiny crustacean.
It's even better to dive and catch one for yourself, except when you turn it over and discover that it's a female carrying eggs. In this case, it's law that you have to release her so that she has a chance to lay her eggs and repopulate her species.
Goodbye dinner - sob!
