A rocky beacon


This is one of the beacon's that we see when we are out on the water sometimes in the Te Puna Inlet Harbour. It lights up at night and sits there on it's rock surrounded by waves in the day. On this particular morning it was very stormy and about to pour down with rain. We had to hide under the canopy in our boat.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Looks like it might be rough waters ahead! (I know nothing of boating/sailing or anything...so if that sounds stupid, that is why.)

Very dramatic sky. Looks like it's a day to stay on land.

You're lucky you don't get seasick Amy, I would have been a hanging over the side of the boat 😊 Super shot.

Ooh, we love boating, but I wouldn’t want to be out in that. (I’m a terrible scaredy cat about weather though).

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 .

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.

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 ...
