Picton Waterfront

I don't have alot of photos of Picton left, unfortunately due to a glitch with my external hard drive most of them were accidentally deleted. This was taken last April when we were in the process of driving down the north island to Greymouth. Picton is the top of the South Island where the interislander ferries berth after leaving Wellington. The carving in the photo is what's known as a Maori Pou, probably the result of a very clever local artist.

It's a small town with an approx population of around 4310 people and is a gateway to the Marlborough Sounds and Queen Charlotte Track. I would've liked to have been able to spend more time here and take more photos but we had to be on our way.

Linking up with Through my lensTuesday TreasuresMy corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

A beautiful park with a totem there. Quite scenic.

Like so many others,I've wanted to be on my way after getting off the ferry. It's a shame really as it looks to be a very pleasant town.

It is looking lovely these days - it wasn't always thus.

See that reddish coloured building in the distance? In the early to mid 1990s I use to work there, can't remember what floor though. Bac...
