A trip into town

January 16, 2023 by sonyavdg 4 Comments

I went into town today for the first time since before Christmas, to do some shopping and undertake a bit of a photo walk.

I was unsuccessful in my shopping. The camera shop I went to only had one monopod in stock – which at 300 New Zealand dollars was more than I was willing to pay. But it was a gorgeous day with lots of people out on the waterfront and some good photo opportunities.

I got off the bus near the ramp up to the stadium (overlooking the railway station)

This guy is a regular sight – particularly when cruise ships are in town

Further around is the Wellington sign. The letters have been refurbished from the previous matt painted finish. Now they are highly reflective and depending on the angle of the sun go from orange through a range of amber shades (perfect for Cee’s Midweek Madness) to greens and blues
