‘Under The Wharf, Above The Waves (X)
…images of the underside of wharves are recurring favourites of mine. in my mind they are places of transition, neither totally in sky or sea. transition from one thing to another is not always easy…as the stark criss-cross lines and encrusted beams in this photo allude to. periods of transition are never our destination but need to happen sometimes in order to get where we mean to go…
‘Out Along The Wharf’
‘A Little Bay Scene’
… taken on 31/12/22, an idyllic end to what was a tough year for me as I recovered from cancer…there are probably thousands of little bays like this, but the scene resonated peace and tranquility at the time and still does. I wish you that kind of peace…
‘Surrounded By Sea’
High tide obscures most, but not quite all, of a stormwater system at Auckland’s Okahu Bay.
‘Sea Strewn’
…look what the storm tossed up…
‘Guarding The Shore’
‘Solitude’

A fishing vessel moored in the calm sanctuary of Auckland’s downtown Viaduct Basin recently.
The fishermen get a break; as do the fish..!

…espied atop the seawall, calm as you like…
‘Empty Flagstaff’
…no ensigns in sight, no flags fluttering…
‘On The Waterfront’
Auckland’s Tamaki Drive on the Waitemata Harbour – one of the great urban waterfronts. A gusty nor’-easterly wind was up at the time I took this shot last week, as the crests of the waves attest.
‘Reef & Volcano’
‘Seaside Scene IV’
