St Margaret's Presbyterian


This is one of the busiest roads in Auckland linking both Takapuna, Belmont and Devonport together as being the main link through. Last time we were there B had stopped the car to buy a drink in on of the local dairies so I used the brief time to get this photo of a boy on a scooter waiting for traffic and a woman walking with her handbag. 

Do you see that sign to the left advertising energy drinks? Those are extremely popular here and I'm sure people know all the chemicals that go into them but most aren't bothered. Not my thing...

Nice street photography. Energy drinks with all kinds of additives is not my thing either.

The energy boost will drain as fast as it boosted!

Very simple church is it not? Energy drinks cans make up most of the rubbish I pick up when I walk between home and supermarket back home in UK. I reckon 90% of the discarded drink cans and bottles are energy drinks - that haven't provided their consumers enough energy to carry the waste to the nearest rubbish bin.

Nice street photography scene.

I'm not into energy drinks. I've tried a couple, not my thing.

Those energy drinks were very popular here for a while. They seem to be fading a bit now.

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 .
