Beehive Wellington

Do I see two bees escaping?

The Beehive was built between 1969 and '79 its 10 story structure is topped of with 20 tonne hand-welted copper roof. It also has a bomb proof mail room! Wonder who opens the mail?

Bowen House Wellington

22 Floor building built in 1991 and situated in Lambton Quay. Today it houses MPs and Parliamentary support staff. 

Bernie

This is Bernie. He hangs out outside Bernie's On the Bay Cafe in Welington.

Seems to be known by the locals. He is a Bernese Mountain dog.

Not another photo, please

  If I look away will you go away

Darn it!

Wellington Waterfront 2

Looking back to the city. Love those sphere lights

 Plenty of parking here!

The yellow building on the left is one of the oldest buildings on the wharf. It was the Ferry building but now houses the Police maritime and dive units.

More Birthday

The big 60 celebration has rolled on for quite some time now.

Anyway last week, knock knock on the door and to Robyns amazement in rolled a flaming 60 candle surprise.

Sarah had baked up the cakes and Rob no doubt lit the fire

 Sucking in a big lung full. Needs to be quick the heat could melt steel!

 Eating the "vegan" muffins. Nice (seriously!)

Our Beautiful Backyard

NZ is a land of fences that usually are intrusive in landscape scenes. But it seemed to work in these. Taken from of my favorite spots on Mauao (Mt Maunganui)
