Friday skies from my rainy Autumn week


This week I've captured a few morning and evening skies... the one above is one I saw last night in a brief break from all the torrential rain we've had. The building in the background is apparently grain silos near the port.


This one is along by the beach, about 5 minutes walk from where we live...the island is named Rabbit Island I think, not sure why as I doubt there are rabbits on it but apparently you can't walk out to it.


And lastly this one is along by Pilot Bay when I was on the way to work - I couldn't resist getting a shot of the orangey sky. For more Skywatch Fridays click here and have a lovely Easter weekend :-)

Love the downward flourish of light crossing the horizontal colour in the last photo. An interesting series.

I wonder if Rabbit Island is habitable.

What lovely skies! I wondered how you were in Autumn still and realised you were from Down Under.

Beautiful shots! I really like the last two. The wet sand reflection of the second one is great, and the misty sky on the last one really stands out!

Wonderful skies and variations in color. We've been having much needed rain in California...but not enough.

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 ...

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 .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
