Between
Ironbank Building
The harsh midday sun casts deep shadows between the two “halves” of the Ironbank Building. Looking up from Cross Street/Karangahape Road Car Park.

My Fireworks
My Fireworks
We did not stay for the fireworks at the Auckland Lantern Festival, so I had to create my own in the camera.

After the Movies
Staring at the Ceiling
We had watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel at the Lido and stayed in their lounge for a drink. As I leaned back, staring up at the ceiling, I found that I sat directly under this chandelier, which created interesting patterns of light on the ceiling.

Soft Colours
Britomart Colours
Only a small number of the cutout ‘windows’ either side of the underground Britomart Station are occupied by large advertisements. The remainder are a lovely show of soft colour – the beancounters would probably wish for more advertisers.

A Heart for Valentines
A Glass of Water
Between the sun umbrellas, a few harsh shafts of light hit our table when we had lunch with friends, producing this beautiful heart.

At the Titirangi Village Market last Sunday: the windows of the Community Hall cast their shadows on the curtains inside.

Roots
Pohutukawa Roots

Condensation — and an Invitation
Unsalted New Zealand Butter
There it lay on the kitchen bench, a 500g block of NZ butter, unsalted. Mrs H is about to embark on some serious baking. The result will be such mouthwatering delights as the ones seen below, to go on sale at the (annual) Swiss Market on Saturday, May 7, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Danish House, 6 Rockridge Avenue, Penrose. All welcome, see you there!
