Winning Fish Shop




 I was over in Kaikohe yesterday for a look around, although we have driven through this town many times I've never actually stopped so while I took quite a few street photos this one stands out to me because the sign for the barber's shop was right next door to a sign that says "fresh smoked fish" - 2 very different things.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

I'd have no use for either establishment, as I don't like seafood and I shave my head.

Two very different signs Amy.. the traditional barber shop colours against the gorgeous blues of the winning fish shop, both liven up the street scene.. lovely blue chairs outside the shop 🐟

...fish and chip is a term that is not used here, we have a Friday Fish Fry which I believe is similar. Thanks Amy, take care and enjoy your weekend.

Nice street view. I love smoked fish especially salmon.

There is quite a lot to see int his photo! I love shrimp (or is that some other sea creature) on the tiles below the window. And that painted scroll-like work above the window on on the canopy is interesting. And there is even a pretty little table and chairs in case you get some smoked fish and decide to eat it right away. I don't know about the fish shop but your photo is certainly a winner.

You don't see small town streets with stores like that here in the states any longer.

I like NZ, we started in Auckland and cruised down and over to the west edge before heading to Tasmania, Aus. We did take the little ferry over to Devonport before leaving and climbed the hill named Mount Victoria. We may have been able to see Kaikohe from there if we knew what to look for.

I noticed the sign reflected in the window "Pizza Place & Indian takeaway". Also two very different things. :-)

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

Image
  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
