In towns we visit I like to take photos sometimes while B is driving of things I see along the way. Last year when we took my parents to Westport we visited Granity which is on the outskirts of town. I like old historical buildings and noticed this old band rotunda. I can't find much about it but normally these were made around the turn of the 19th/20th century to honour military in the wars and so military band members could play their instruments on important days. Many towns around the country have these, there is also one in Westport and one in Greymouth.
We've been enjoying a very hot dry Summer so far and although we've had the odd bout of rain, water restrictions are still applying. Auckland and Northland have unluckily had storms and floods including one this week that started at a category 3 cyclone and ended with a category 2 - 5 being the highest. We can count ourselves lucky that we moved to the South Island just in time last April. Climate change, as people call it seems to have it's own mind about what it does.
Linking up with Through my lens, Ruby Tuesday, Tuesday Treasures, My corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.
