Petrol

 


Taken at one of the local petrol stations in town while I was waiting in line to use a pump. It was a very very full on day yesterday so I couldn't wait to get home after work. For those who commented on the last post about Kiwi Rail, the word "Kiwi" doesnt just refer to the Kiwifruit (as we call it) but it also is kind of a nickname that people in New Zealand aka Aotearoa call ourselves.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Those three colored litter bins are very interesting and by the look also in good use.
