This Fine Art America puzzle by Anthony Dalton measures 18 X 24 inches and includes 500 pieces. It is made from premium 0.2 inch thick paper and includes a semi-gloss coating on the top surface.
Jesus as a Maori was engraved on the window of the Galilee Chapel to the right of the altar on the east side of the church. The artist managed to show Jesus walking on the waters of Lake Rotorua but the photographer must also take the right picture. In some of mine He walks on the grass like in my second photo (I added it to mimic the image on the puzzle box).
Unfortunately, there were cars parked at the back of the church, which takes away much of the intended effect.
The coordinates are those of the entrance to the church. You can see the window using Street View on Google Earth at S 38° 07.643 E 176° 14.901
From the church website: "Many people visit just to sit quietly and pray. The peace of the church is noted by people from all over the world.
The Galilee Chapel on the east side of the church is greatly enhanced by the vision of a Maori Jesus walking on the water of Lake Rotorua has inspired visitors since its installation in 1967." (
