Continue reading →: Countdown Ferrymead Work StartedI’ve heard that April next year, this spot will have a Countdown Supermarket on it (and a nice one too). I’m amazed at the progress they’ve made already on this site. I’ve really missed not having a local supermarket so it will be wonderful once it is back. There was…

Continue reading →: Retropolitan on Fitzgerald AvenueI’ve been meaning to check out Retropolitan for quite some time. I finally got to have a look around and it really is packed full of wonderful retro things. I ended up buying a couple of things, an old style letter holder that hangs on the wall, and a little…

I went along with the camera and tripod and was totally unprepared for the number of cars and people. It’s a popular night out, even on a short winter’s day. The locals really get into the spirit…

Continue reading →: Full Moon Over the Port HillsMy attempt at photographing the big moons we’ve been having after the super moon. Yesterday I was a bit late and just got the moon as it was going right down behind the hill, but I was ready and waiting this morning!
