Tourists


Night is the best time in Greymouth literally because there is no people around. Summer here as bought so many tourists, and while we don't mind because at this time last year we were them, my work can get very very hectic. At least they are for the most part polite.

It's nice to get a city picture without crowds of people -- you live in a beautiful place though, no wonder you get lots of tourists!

Even when I have been a tourist with camera in hand, I've loved those moments when the viewfinder sees no people, just the sights we came to see.

I like it when there are no people around, you get lots of good photo opps. We have a couple of towns that we go to once in a while and they are crowded with tons of tourists making it a pain to get around.

This is a great capture. And it is good to see that there are no people around.

Most, but not all, of my times in Greymouth were in the rain and so people were hiding anyway.

...when we vacationed in Maui, the locals had a love, hate relationship for the tourists.

You live in a ghost town you do. Most of times there´s nobody in your photos. I don´t like crowds anyways so it´s fine by me. Nice and quiet scenery, I like it.

Not a big fan of crowds. I like it when there are no people around.

Have a great weekend, Amy!

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.
