I was driving somewhere else for a photo and noticed this weed covered lot. A petrol station was once here. I thought no need to drive further, I could just photograph on the corner. night time photos are best on black

friendly place

Sometimes I take a walk up past the university, and then down steep narrow Devon Road to Aro Street, it always seems relaxed and friendly there, it's just an impression. The walk is near it's end when I reach Aro Café for a flat white coffee and a helping of nemesis chocolate cake, and hopefully by then I have found an opportunity for a photo.

Over the overbridge there is a gravel path leading into the woods (or bush in NZ), and a little further it opens out into a sports complex. I passed some tennis rallies, and continued uphill till I found a view of Haitaitai houses. I extended the tripod as high as it would go and took a few photos. I then made my way back down in the dark, the tennis players had gone. Go Big
