The Arts Market @ The Cargo Shed


On one of my boredom walks a couple of weeks ago along The Strand area here in Tauranga, situtated on the edge of the waterfront is the Arts Market @ The Cargo Shed. This place opens every Saturday and allows local artists to showcase and sell their creative works of art. I intend to check it out at some point :-)

The building reminds me of my uncle's produce merchant shed in Australia when I was a child. I used to think it looked like a railway station. Even now I remember the smell of potatoes and onions that lingered even when the shed was empty. I look forward to more photos from market days.

It looks definitely like a place to hang out for a while and happily. Can I copy your term "boredom walks". (Only in my own mind)

A walk at the waterfront sounds nice. And I am glad the artist have a place to show off their work. Have a happy day!

Sounds like a nice spot. I still haven't been to Tauranga.

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 ...
