Auckland View: Kohimarama to Rangitoto, 30.7.23

‘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!

For You, 60!

by Ebb Then Flood

‘For You, 60!’

An old friend of mine turned sixty today.

With an underlying message of “onwards and upwards”, I sent this image to her.

It shows the rear of the rather splendid Sacre-Coeur Basilica in Paris, where I had visited recently and my friend had also gone a few years ago.

I love the way the tower catches the light and emerges from the shadowed mass of the lower parts of the structure, pointing to the heavens. Clouds drift by the building’s static lines; time moves on.

I used a standard Apple filter to make this phone pic “pop” a little, but, hey, it is a birthday celebration after all!

Onwards and upwards!
