It's funny how you can never remember how feeling well is so bloody good,
except when your feeling like crap. Thank god it's FRIDAY, and I'm feeling fine!!!

Time to cook the troops a large hearty dinner.

The Main Trunk rail route into central Auckland.
An unappealling introduction to those who arrive on it!

Architectural flare within the Queen Street Cinema complex.

A lightning strike in the dead of night. Is been a day of hail and thunder.
Thankfully, I've been tucked away in a classroom all day. HOORAY!!!

From calm to chaos. A raging northerly wind overnight, found a number

of vessels floundering on rocks along the Waitemata Harbour shoreline.

It's election time again. The political artists once again come out to play.
The narrowest of margins, 1 seat between National and Labour before special votes counted.

now a shadow of its former self. A carpark......RIP!

The wash in the sea is from a pod of around 30 dolphins.

I love the image but the building is hideous!!

When apartment blocks go wrong, very very wrong!!!

No particular comment for this one,
just stood out for some reason when I walked by!

I can't help myself. Where else do you get beautiful days
like this in the middle of winter!! Piha, west coast, NZ.

For some reason, I've started noticing grafitti all over the place.

Most of it is crap and a blight on the landscape, but some...

This from Orakei train station.

Has spring come early or what.........?
