Hot Rods and American Iron

Hotrod1On Sunday whilst visiting a friends market stall we happened upon a car meet up. Not sure if it was a designated spot or not as there were a lot of police there also. Either way, was an impressive range of muscle machines and I grabbed a few shots as I walked through.

View from Herald Island

View from Herald IslandDuring a work stop in Auckland West, I made a quick stop in at one of the unique little communities, Herald Island. A small little community, Herald Island was joined to Auckland’s West with a causeway built in 1958.

With a small number of streets you could likely count with your fingers, it has a real sense of a small community. At the opposite end of the island from the causeway, we see the main wharf/boat jetty area. Greeted by a friendly ‘sea cat’ (just a normal cat that wandered the wharf), I took todays shot of the boats and across to Greenhithe on the North Shore.

In post using Gimp, I switched to B&W and adjusted levels a little as well as cropping the aspect.
