Autumn Moon over Kawau Island


While going through my archives this morning I found this shot from a couple of years back, one of those ones I use to take while out fishing - Kawau Island is just off the coast of the Tawharanui Peninsula and home to historic Mansion House.  All stunning places to explore in NZ. Yes I'm one of those people who takes my camera everywhere I go...

When I look at this image, I dream of vacations in far off lands with lots and lots of coconuts.

Oh, I love the golden moonlight on the water! From our window, the moonlight on the water is more silvery. Regardless... I think moonlight on the water is romantic. :)

That's fabulous! It's one of those 'bucket list' photos that most of us would love to get.

I love Kawau. I really miss it, now that we are without a boat. We used to sail there all the time, such wonderful protected anchorages. Beautiful shot of the moon.

great picture! I love the blue line going from the moon to the island, as if there is magic being exchanged.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
