Tauranga Memorial Park - Such a stunning Autumn day


On my recent travels to Tauranga I stopped in my car to the Tauranga Memorial Park - absolutely stunning scenery. In this shot the tide was out and there was a group of bikers to the right who were relaxing and chatting to each other.


Because Autumn is still quite warm here in NZ during the day people still get out and about. This little boy was having fun with the fountain.


Think these were tourists and as you can see they were enjoying the scenery too. What an awesome view of the harbour! The park also has a skatepark, free barbeques you can use, a Memorial Cenotaph, pools and a hall.

Lovely. Reminds me I haven't been to Tauranga for ages. Last time I was on a mission to get to East Cape. Must plan another visit.

It was a beautiful day and the scenery is outstanding. The last image reminds me so many scenes like that in the SF Bay Area.

Fountains, benches and views onto bodies of water are some of my favorite things.

Hello, Amy! :)
Finally I managed to reach you and your blog! (Through a Google+ profile it's not very easy.) Thank you for visiting my blog.
Wonderful autumn photos full of sunshine!

Look at that glorious sunshine. No wonder people are out and about enjoying the scenery.

I can't believe I haven't been to Tauranga yet. We drove though once, but didn't even stop for a meal. The photos are lovely. I think I know my next road trip destination.

I like the low tides when the water left the beach. We don´t have much of this so I like it :)

  This has been one of the early buildings in Westport from the 1870s that is still being used for the local newspaper, so much old Victoria...
