Overcast

 


Another example of beachside apartments, these ones though are in Paihia along the waterfront - you literally cross the road to get to the beach.

What a wonderful place to live. I wonder how much those places cost. Location and view!

Nice location, astronomical prices most likely.

Bit pity that you don't see the beach also on your shoot but a very nice header.

From this photo I would not have guessed beachside if you hadn't mentioned it!

After watching the hurricane damage in Florida, I'm not so sure I would want to live that close to the beach anymore!

Must be nice. I live in a city with beach in it's name but the actual beach is a couple of miles away.

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 .

A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
