One place where I work...

Eventually everyone will get tired of pictures of Lake Wakatipu from different angles. I see it quite a bit. If you look at it in an atlas, the lake is shaped like a lightning bolt or of someone lying down. The lake also has a tide of about 6 inches or so. Maori legend holds that there was once a giant who kidnapped a princess. To save the princess, a Maori warrior cleared the mountains of trees and brush during the night, covered the sleeping giant and killed him in a giant fire. Deep under Lake Wakatipu, where the giant was sleeping, his heart is still slowly beating, causing the tide that we modernites attribute to the gravitational effects of the moon.
