King Tide
Help!
Friday night/Saturday morning we had exceptionally high tides, even in the estuary that is Manukau Harbour. The picture below was taken about 10 days earlier at nearly full tide. (4.42m vs 3.37m at Onehunga)
The sculpture is at the shore end of the Onehunga sea wall, next to the Manukau Cruising Club. There must be a story behind it – but I have not been able to find anything about it.

Before the Dust Settled
Cloud of Dust
First make dust — then let it settle! Concrete cutters produce both, noise and dust. Then it’s time to dowse with water.

The Fog Has Lifted
Looking West
This morning, thick fog moved in from the Manukau Harbour, playing havoc with airline schedules, lifting and reappearing again. Here the view from the walkway between Grendon and Landing Roads as the situation cleared.

Autumnal
Shadows
The mellow sun of the late afternoon casts a shadow of the thinning tulip tree onto the brick wall of The Potters Post (strangely, the sign proclaiming the name of the building seems to have disappeared from the front).
