Continue reading →: Gap Filler Office in SydenhamI was in Sydenham today so took a quick cellphone snap of the office for Gap Filler (this is the organisation that fills empty lots with creative things like painted pianos). I’ve tweaked the photo a bit using Instagram which I have only started using as they’ve recently released their…

Continue reading →: A Flower from my gardenA flower from my garden. I can not recall its name. I planted it at the beginning of summer and it has flowered for ages despite our interesting summer. I love taking photos of plants at this time of year as the light is just so pretty.

Continue reading →: Ridgeview Lane, Mt PleasantI drove up to Ridgeview Lane late this afternoon to take photos with my photo club. Unfortunately we didn’t get the light and sunset we were hoping for as it went very cold and cloudy on us. At least I got a few moody shots instead.

The clock has actually stopped at the exact time of the February 22nd 2011 earthquake.

Continue reading →: New Building on Victoria StreetThis is a new building on Victoria Street – down by the Bealey Avenue corner. I’ve been watching it go up for a few months now.

Continue reading →: White Duck and a PukekoThis is one of the white ducks that lives on the canal that runs along Humphreys Drive by Charlesworth Reserve. The ducks are very well fed – in the 10 or so minutes I was photographing them at least two groups of people stopped to feed them from the bridge…

Continue reading →: Crowne Plaza Demolition UpdateClick on the images for a larger version of each image (about twice the size). It’s been just over a month since I last saw the Crown Plaza Hotel. Today, as I walked up Victoria Street I let out a gasp when saw the Forsyth Barr building visible from behind…
