Welcome to Kiwi Summer, our annual summer photo competition. With schools out, and huge numbers on holiday, we’re looking for the best shots that sum up summer. Ben Crowle arrived home in Henderson and found his nephews having a water fight, then snapped this shot of Roman Crowle, 3, getting trapped. ‘‘I grabbed my camera out of my car and managed to get this shot of Roman cornered up against the fence and out of water, getting soaked by his older brother Noah.’’ For details on competition prizes and how to enter, go to the dompost.co.nz website.
