#1985 ... Back Bencher rebirth

The Back bencher Pub in Molesworth Street has sadly had a couple of fires ... and is now undergoing a complete refit ... the inside has been gutted and the publicity poster on the outside wall changed to reflect the changes ... and the hassles of repair!

#1984 ... Unique Celebration

Two delightful young ladies celebrating the Prophet Muhammad of Mercy ... by giving out white flowers on Lambton Quay ... and yes ... a "unique experience" for New Zealand

#1983 ... Coffee on the Street

Mojos,Old Bank Arcade ... in the sunshine at the end of Lambton Quay

Window clean time at the Harbour City Centre on Lambton Quay.

#1978 ... The Whole Move

Another hole on the move! .. yes the whole hole ... Featherston St.

#1977 ... Hanging Around

Hanging Around hanging around again, 3 men on a wall, doing what they do best ... all those high jobs putting up billboards and all sorts of elevated things. Willis St.

#1976 ... Cross Train

Cross Train ... instruction, angry or just getting fit ... waiting for the train to cross beside the Westpac Stadium.

#1975 ... Busker

A young very expert guitarist in Cuba Mall ... enthralling

#1974 ... Green Grass

A quiet spot on the grass next to the Civic Square

#1973 ... Mojo Man

Grace in RED (the fashion student and a fund-raising ninja) and Dan from Mojo Coffee, Old Bank Arcade.  Rumi who captured the image was searching for a guy to create the scene ... most ran away ... but not Dan the Mojo Man. Here he is showing a lot of personal mojo with a RED rose. THANKS TO RUMI FOR AN INTERESTING SHOT.

#1972 ... Sitting in the Sun

At the corner of Lambton Quay and Hunter Street ... sit and watch the city go by.

#1971 ... Planted Patterns

Recently planted ... and soon there will be a burst of colour in the gardens in front of the Wellington Railway Station

#1970 ... Flaxen

A classic planting of flax beside the railway station ... contrasted against the old brick wall ... and a skate boarder in the cycle lane.

#1969 ... Statuesque

An artistic creation at Ora Gallery in Allen Street ... a great gallery and shop for something a bit different

#1968 ... Grey Gold

The sky .. just shades of grey and a touch of gold.

#1967 ... Loovely Logo!

This plumber has created his logo ... with a sense of humour. Blair St.

#1966 ... In the pink

It's nice to see some marketing thought gone to this street appeal. Taking a bit more trouble to put some balloons and having an eye catching dress-up must generate an above average revenue per collector. This is Grace doing a fantastic job for the breast cancer foundation at Lambton Quay. THANKS RUMI FOR THE IMAGE

#1965 ... After party

The morning after the corporate party ... obviously dress up ... and this group were all still smiling after the night out. Featherston St.

#1964 ... Water Play

The fountain at Midland Park is often an attraction as a kids' playground.

#1963 ... Shoe construction

An amazing style for shoes ... seems more like the work of a specialist wood worker ... certainly making a statement

#1962 ... Summer Salad

YES the asparagus have started and delightful. Nice to have a salad with a range of great vegetables.

#1961 ... Tunnel Vision

Travelling through the Terrace Tunnel ... in the warm glow of the tunnel lighting.

#1960 ... More Road ... No works!

Courtenay Place undergoing yet more changes ... scrapping off the old tarseal ... prior to a re-surface.

#1959 ... Medieval Machine??

This may look a bit like something from the Dark Ages ... however it's a machine specifically designed for trimming very tall and large farm hedges. Another of the interesting aspects of travelling away from the city.

#1958 ... Mr Fixit

Even the city's rubbish bins need repairs & maintenance. This guy seemed happy enough keeping it all in good order.

#1957 ... Khaki Transport

Not your usual country vehicles ... however there is an army base not too far away ... at least the colour is agricultural.

#1956 ... Knight 'n' Day

During my travels in Canterbury this week I came across Sir Bob Charles, our most famous golfer ... and this time he was dressed in green overalls for farm work !! A delightful gentleman.

#1955 ... Peg Dolls

The results of the Small Acorns' Peg Doll competition ... these would make the washing look great on the clothes line !!
