Construction Site
Construction site, Glen Eden. About 4 years ago, I took a picture of a “blue house” at the bottom end of this site; the need for redevelopment was obvious.
Gum Trees
A row of twisted gum trees at the Waikumete cemetery. Established in 1886, it is one of the largest cemeteries in the southern hemisphere (108 hectares), and home to a large number of mature trees.
Library Lane Sculptures
We showed the graphic art in the narrow Library Lane, Glen Eden, in an earlier post. The opposite walls are decorated with sculptures indicating cabbage trees, ferns and nikau palms, all common throughout the Waitakere Ranges. (Artist unknown)

Library Lane, Glen Eden
I searched high and low, and eventually I found the name of one of the two narrow lanes running between West Coast Road and Glenmall (the sign is up high, above the glass canopy, “Library Lane”). One side is decorated by murals of Louis and Sharon Statham, on the other side are metal sculptures which will be shown some other time. What I like best about it is the sound of the watercourse making its way down, first on the right, then crossing over to the left hand side. The walls and the perspex cover capturing and amplifying the sound of rushing water.
