looking down on downtown buildings

looking down on downtown buildings, originally uploaded by Lester Ralph Blair.

What I like about Wellington is the geography of the place, though the central area is flat, the hillsides are not far away. And around the back of various buildings one can find a view. I like to look down, and to photograph them is like making a map. click here, and scroll down, there are mannequins loose on the veranda

more buildings, and a bridge

There was another parking building across the road, I wondered what the view was like from there. There was a curious mix of office blocks , apartments, houses and people jogging in the warm afternoon sun. go here to spot the joggers

just some buildings

just some buildings, originally uploaded by Lester Ralph Blair.

It was just after midday, not the time I usually take photos. There was no other time available. I walked around the city, and then I walked up many steps till I was at the top floor of a parking building. I wanted to see what it looked like from up there. I took some photos then did the same at other parking buildings, no one seemed to mind. The buildings seemed generic, I presume it looks much the same the world over. click to make the buidings bigger

grass, dirt with buildings

grass, dirt with buildings, originally uploaded by Lester Ralph Blair.

I walked across a part of town, more or less in a straight line, to see what I might find. For no particular reason I took a photo here, possibly I liked the way the dirt was similar in colour to the building. I am finding myself more interested in the topography of this place, the way the buildings sit in the landscape. They do seem somewhat tenuous perched among the hills and sitting on the dirt. The big view is here.

walk in small park

I left the car at home, I use it all week for work now, better to walk I thought, and go to the park. There were people there walking about, or just sitting down. A good as place as any, I thought, to take a photo. Click here see more of the sunshine

Up some steps and a steep path and between grass and shrubby plants I found this view of Island Bay, this is where Wellington faces the Cook Strait, and here the weather can be very interesting. Big view here

two scraggly trees on a small hill

I was not able to get out with my camera this week, so have posted this one from last week. I was not intending to post it, a little unsure, as it is just two scraggly trees with green grass, where people let their dogs out. click here to see a small person between the trees.

trees, some hills, some houses

The scene is scruffy looking, it is just the way it is, the houses are on the side of hills, they are mostly timber, and this is the way it often looks. This is of course too small, please click here.

This is about nothing in particular, just what it looks like to stand about here. Proper viewing size is here.

I want to go some place else but I keep finding more photos in the same location. I came upon a television, an arm chair, and three young men leaving the scene, what else could I do, but take another photo. it needs to be bigger, please click here.
