Wellington Wharf - Overcast reflections in black and white




I couldn't resist taking this snapshot of a section of Wellington Wharf on Friday afternoon, this was at the beginning of our trip to Nelson. The Interislander Ferry normally docks around the corner here and shortly after this image was clicked some workmen came along and started working on some of the piers. Such an overcast mild Winter's day but I really liked in particular the reflection on the water, so calm and quiet :-)

Beautiful picture. Looks like the perfect weather to explore the dock - not too hot or too cold. I love the harbor.

Very interesting photo with the reflections in the water so very dark and the rest of the water reflecting so much light.

Great photgraph of the wharf building in Wellington.
Let's give it a serious consideration: "When did I visit Wellington the last time...???"

Errr...

Never! I was never in Wellington before...
..and that the reason why: Wellington is only 25.000 kilometers / 15.000 miles away from my hometown!

Sleep well - we are right after Friday noon and the summer sun is shining! ;-)

Regards from Germany,

Uwe.

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 ...
