5 days in auckland

I googled albert park auckland, and there seems to be about a million images, sorry to have added to them, but I guess just about everything has been photographed before.

just another walk ...

... to see grassy slopes, running hounds, and a few trees with little substance.

the pros & cons of walking in the hills

There is not that much to see except maybe strange plants, impenetrable scrub, No 8 wire, the odd fence post. Through one may encounter a fellow rambler or even a fitness fanatic.

walking where the manuka & gorse grow wild

I seem to be drawn to the country side as the years go by, don't know why.

the jungle again

the jungle again

a walk on the farm ...

… above wellington, trying to make sense in a visual way of cow dung, grass, scrub, fences, the odd steer, and a rabbit.

jungle pictures

After a couple of visits to the local park I wondered what New Zealand looked like before we cleared the land and turned it into a dairy farm.

exploring dark damp places in the park

I feel this is a tentative start, when photographing a new subject it takes a while to see if it will stick around. It is a something I wanted to do 30 years ago but didn't get around to it ….

looking at nature

looking at nature

Sometimes my mood changes and I just want to get away from crowded streets and have a walk in the park. Nature can be a little tedious and boring if too much, but than again I photograph mostly the things that I like to look at and I do like looking at trees.

I am at a crossroads … not sure of what direction… there could be a landscape mood coming on… while I am in the valley of indecision I have searched through to see what I can find ….
