-A WALK

It was quite cool (8 degrees) this morning but turned into a lovely day.  We did the same Monday walk we have been doing lately - The Loop - but it looked really special with the light today.




The dredge was heading down  river with its load






Some of the walkers in our group ahead of me



A rower out practising


I love the shape of this gum tree (Eucalyptus)


The Wave and Waka sculpture



The waka on its own (canoe)


The Bascule bridge being opened for the dredge




It was such a lovely day that I did a load of washing (towels) when I got home at 12.30 p.m. and it is dry now at 4 p.m.

Just checked and it has been announced that we move to Level 1 tonight at midnight.  That will mean things back to normal except for the border which is still closed.  From what I heard on the News this morning Auckland went to level 1 at the weekend with everyone in bars and cafes.

  1. Beautiful photos. We are anticipating a second virus outbreak as people here are ignoring all caution.

  4. The waka sculpture is unsettling - is the wave meant to be swamping it?
    You certainly had a gorgeous day to enjoy this lovely place :)

    1. I hadn't thought of it like that. It is a large wave but I don't think it is supposed to swamp the waka. Yes, it was a wonderful day. I am hoping for the same today when the clouds clear.
