Back has debilitated me a little today, so another shot from yesterdays crawl.

An early Sunday morning wander (actually, a slow limp as I’ve hurt my back) through Aucklands CBD, Queen Street, featured a familiar face. Old Farmers Santa. A bit of old iconic legend in Auckland, this 20metre tall, 4500+kg jolly man is now 53 years old!I recall his pre-facelift years where he had a summoning finger and winking eye – characteristics which brought about the title of being the worlds creepiest santa last decade (the size and design reminds me of Stay Puft from Ghostbusters) . Since his ‘facelift’ in 2009, his finger no longer moves, and his eyes stay wide open. A bit of a shame, but equally, probably for the best.
I don’t recall the reindeer in earlier years. Imagine the warehouse needed to store this lot when christmas is over!

Shot on my iPod touch, we had a great Christmas morning tea at work the other day in celebration of the season, and closing of year for some staff. My workplace does not actually close down at all, but I’m now off away on leave. Feels like I have not had a break this year.
Image played around with using Photo Toaster on iOS.
Perhaps some colour tomorrow! -
