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!

‘Zoom In (All Seeing Eye)’
I had just been listening to jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter’s adventurous 1966 album “The All Seeing Eye”, when I saw ( and saw through to the building behind) the pictured glass sculpture in downtown Auckland.The sculpture zooms in to the world beyond – an all seeing eye.
Strange when two very different art forms conflate in one’s mind!

‘A Stretch Of Clouds’
One of those perfect early autumn days where the clouds stretch across still skies, full of possibility. The scene is an iconic Auckland one, looking towards the volcanic island of Rangitoto from the mainland (at St.Heliers).
