Auto Diesel

 

It's not often we see road works down here but for the last few days we've had to wait in line for some council work to be done.



It turns out they were trimming the greenery around the side of the mountain road on the way home. Rocks and trees tend to fall down onto the road in front of cars when there is a big storm.  Good to see they are keeping busy.

Good to keep the roads clear of rocks and tree limbs.

Hopefully that makes that stretch of road a bit safer for motorists. Can't be much fun having something crashing down as you drive past.

Don't you just love having to wait for road work to get out of your way. It looks like yours had gone down to a single lane, cars wait for their turn. It looks like the garage has closed until the road work has finished stopping traffic.

I never like getting caught in traffic because of road work, but it is necessary. Love your colorful header photo!

Some of our mountain roads have huge wire nets to stop things falling on the road. It's a huge danger. Good they're keeping things clear

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 .
