Continue reading →: The Estuary in FerrymeadA view of the estuary from Ferrymead taken quite late this afternoon. It was a lovely sunny day today but winter temperatures have kicked in so it’s now quite cold too.

Continue reading →: A new view for New Regent StreetSo there used to be a building at the end of this picture – and now it’s no more. What a difference it has made. I don’t know what the plans are for the land that had the building on it, but hopefully once something is rebuilt it will work…

Continue reading →: Bellbird feeding on Kowhai FlowersYesterday I was out walking (sans camera of course), when I saw a bellbird feeding on this kowhai tree.

The dome now just sits on the ground on Cambridge Terrace. I’m not sure if there are any plans to rebuild it.
