Rangitoto Island, Auckland, NZ

‘Rangitoto 23.9.25’

…i wait for the morning bus into town

the silent volcano across the waters

will always wait for me…

Rangitoto Island & Waitemata Harbour

…the volcanic island that straddles the horizon; the sparkling waters that surround.

they comfort and protect Auckland/ Tamaki Makurau, my home town.

any day i can see them is a better day.

always there…

‘Fog Over Water (White Stripe)

…an opaque band of fog layers itself over a calm Waitemata Harbour.

Rangitoto lies mainly shrouded behind the thick vapour.

unusual, beautiful…

‘Rangitoto, Anzac Day 2024’

…nature goes out in solemn solidarity on aotearoa / new zealand’s national day of military remembrance…

‘Auckland View: Kohimarama to Rangitoto, 30.7.23’

Today’s stroll along Tamaki Drive, on the harbour’s edge, provided this panorama.

Blue skies, passing clouds, sparkling waters and the patterns of ancient volcanic rock reach out to meet me.

A view in my home town that I have seen probably thousands of times, but never tire of!
