Dreamland Coming On
‘Dreamland Coming On’
A photo of the early evening sky in Auckland a couple of hours ago.
Posted because of a certain dreamlike quality that resonated with me (the title is borrowed from lyrics in a favourite Joni Mitchell song that went running through my mind as I reviewed the picture – thanks Joni!).
Soft Shell Light

…all pearl and pale…

Mussels & Barnacles
‘Mussels & Barnacles’
A shot of little mussels and barnacles on a rocky Tasman Sea shore.
Ultimate, adaptable, survivors in the in between zone straddling land and tide.
( for another take on the same subject matter, in a different time and place, see: Only Clinging On (Shell Game) ).
“Going Bush”
“Going Bush”
There is an expression saying in New Zealand ,”going bush”, which is used where someone is, or intends to, escape the rat race for awhile.
It could literally mean disappearing into dense bush like that in the photo but it could be escaping anywhere really, just to get away from it all for a time.
I feel the need to “go bush” myself after the strange and awful year the world has had to endure – just a bit jaded. Should start planning to do just that, but then again,”going bush” is not something that lends itself to a great degree of deliberation.
When you feel the need to go, just go!
Weathered And Reflected
‘Weathered And Reflected’
…weathered by the elements, you see yourself reflected…

Cliff Face
‘Cliff Face’
Detail of a rocky cliff face on Piha’s Lion Rock.
Speaking of faces, there is a small smiley face rock at middle right of the photo (this could just be my imagination).Bonus points if you see more faces!
Taitomo
‘Taitomo’
The view southwards to Taitomo Island from Piha Beach, on the Tasman Sea west of Auckland.
Majestic, really, in defiance of perpetual wind and waves.
It’s the sort of view I find inspiring. I hope you do, too.
