Ice and frost all around in Reporoa


Early this morning before 9am this was the scene that greeted us in Reporoa, a small town an hour or so away, this is where it starts to get really cold.


It was minus 3 degrees celsius outside and as we drove we had to be careful and look out for ice on the road.


At one point we got out to take photos of the scenery, we literally never get ice or frost where we live near the beach so this was new to us.


This farm, in the middle of the countryside had a large plane on the property, totally unused...why? who knows, bit of a strange thing though...

Linking up with Our World Tuesday :-)

That must must be a real surprise when it is not the norm. At least your photos show that it still has it's moments of beauty.

It must have been an exciting experience. The first photo is pretty eerie.

lovely frosty pictures -- but I'd rather see frost on your blog than experience it myself. Don't forget to wear your mittens when you go taking pictures in that weather ;>)))

Quite cold down there. I like the frost photos, particularly the frost on the fence wire and batten.

Nice frosty photos, that is something we rarely see here. Use to live in Alaska and this scene was very familiar but you were always ready for it.
Enjoy your week Amy.

Love the contrast in seasons from halfway around the world! It's hot as can be around here, and your frosty photos are a nice way to think cool!

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
