Auckland Art Gallery

A lovely space right in the heart of Auckland City, closed for several years and renovated beautifully marrying the old and new spaces. Gallery has a great cafe with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking Kitchener Street and part of Albert Park.

From a distance this one gets me every time - the security person is a sculpture

Its winter - time for the boats to come out of the water.

We are a sailing country being surrounded by water and a long way from anywhere, boats are in our DNA.
Having recently given Oracle Team USA a sailing lesson Americas cup it seemed appropriate to trundle down to the nearest yacht club and check out the boats up on the hard for their annual maintenance.
