• At the Door

    Whence is that knocking?
    How is ’t with me when every noise appals me?
    What hands are here? Ha! They pluck out mine eyes.
    Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
    Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
    The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
    Making the green one red.
    Macbeth – Shakespeare
  • Dinner at TonysMeeting friends we dined out at Tony’s on Wellesley in the CBD. A great dark environment with various relic props from days of old. So many options for what to eat, and upon ordering, everyones meals looked tasty!

    Interestingly (perhaps due to their operating timeline), the placemats were full of 1963 facts:

    • The year of JFK Assassination
    • The first Bond film released
    • The first year for the Dr Who series
    • Johnny Depp’s year of birth
    • Alcatraez closes

    Shot on the Sony Nex with pancake 16mm and converted to B&W in Gimp (as well as a few other ageing tweaks).

  • Rain cycleA day off with a friend visiting from overseas. We and cold we hopped on our bicycles and cycled  the ‘Auckland circuit’. Starting in Takapuna on the North Shore we headed North to the Greenhithe Bridge. Over the bridge (where todays image was shot on mobile) and out to West Auckland. Back along the west, we headed into the CBD – pumping up a small puncture (showing our lack of repair kit) along the way. Heading through the city, we caught the ferry and ended in Devonport again on the North Shore. Somewhere around a 50km journey, wet cold and ready for dinner.
