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 West Edge housing development in Rankin Road is under way.

Clouds
… of clouds. The “Go West” bus is on its way back to the city, complete with a load of puffy clouds.
The Cloud
A big cloud towers over the Manukau Harbour, catching the last light of the setting sun. As the Low disappeared in the east, a chilly night ensued, followed by a crisp but sunny day. French Bay.

Quiet Morning at Wood Bay
The Manukau Harbour lies ever so smooth, reflecting the billowing clouds above. Mangere Mountain in the centre.

Whau River
The Whau River with interesting patterns of surface ripples, seen from Archibald Park, Kelston. Dominated by puffy white clouds (and a generous sprinkle of pylons).

Horizons (Neil Dawson, 1994)
We had the good fortune (thanks a million, Stephen!) to be able to visit the Gibbs Farm yesterday. A huge property of undulating land on the Kaipara Harbour, containing a good number of sculptural works whose size matches the size of the grounds. This sculpture by Neil Dawson is entitled “Horizons” and measures 15 x 10 x 36m. Welded and painted steel. It shows the ubiquitous corrugated iron as if having floated down from the sky.
“Dawson’s is one of the few works that can be seen from the road, which is fitting for its trompe l’oeil suggestion of a giant piece of corrugated iron blown in from a collapsed water tank on some distant farm.” (From the Gibbs Farm brochure.)
Check out the sculpture on the satellite view of Google Maps; when you zoom out, you will note a few more of the sculptures (Anish Kapoor‘s “Dismemberment” is the red one, 85m long).
