Swift


Photo taken on one of our recent lockdowns while I was walking along the main street - all the shops were closed so it was very eerily quiet, I should be use to it by now but I'm not yet.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

I remember when Poros was eerily without people, traffic, hustle and bustle. Very odd. Don't think it will happen again. We will live with whatever happens now and continue to walk and gather and drink coffee.
Hope those streets are busy again soon

The lockdowns here were eerily too. So quiet, no people, no cars for weeks. It seemed like we were living in a ghost town.

Even driving through a town with most of the shops closed makes me filled with sadness. It is like half the people have been transported into outer space and left all these empty places behind.

The first lockdown was eerie. You could lie in the middle of a busy street- in normal times- and not see a vehicle for twenty minutes.

That eerie quietness is not something we should ever get used to. I hope.

Mucha tranquilidad hay en esa calle. No se ve nadie tránsitando por ella.

Que tengs un buen día.

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 .
