JANUARY 2016 IPHONE SIX 815

 

It’s night time the shops are closed, but there’s window fronts are lighten up to show their wares in Downtown Auckland Britomart and High Street where many parts of New Zealand Fashion lives.. Window Shopping at night is a completely different atmosphere, there’s almost no one around.. Which you can look at the window, into the shops even thou it’s dimly lit and some lighten up like they still open inside but only to find the doors are closed, but no matter you can still inside..

It’s still January also still the Holidays for only some, also some of the stores are still on sales ever since before the Christmas season started as they moved out to make way for as January moves onwards.. The stores move onto to the next new collections setting forward in the upcoming summer to autumn season…

The colours for the season, has been whites, with coral reds, or pinks and with navy Tardis blue for and edge, still with the traditional blacks, and grey with breathable fabrics for the summer season… it should be interesting to see what the Autumn Winters fashion collections brings ..

looking out centrally from 200 meters high..

At one time I when to the Auckland’s Sky Tower, it has almost the view of Auckland manned wise, instead of the naturally view from One tree hill or Mangere Mountain in just before south wise of Onehunga…   from here you’re looking at an encompassing view of surrounding Auckland more than two hundred kilometers more… from a estimated height of two hundred meters… that’s almost a two thirds of the Retro fitted length of the Constitution class Starship akin to the USS Enterprise…

From here, looking out west, looking into the Auckland Harbour Bridge, into the boroughs of Westhaven, Herne Bay… to Point Chevalier, across the Waitematā Harbour, is Birkenhead, Northcote, and Takapuna leading towards to Devonport …

Within the Central Business District of Auckland, it’s basically like walkable like if you walking in the streets of Vancouver exploring each block of street having their stories to tell to you…. As listen to the buildings designs speak their histories… the Area that beholds you used to be a pretty much a fish mongers, and market gardening’s market place (Turners and growers, Railey) in where you could get a fresh of the boat battered fish and chips.. With freshly harvested squeeze lemons. Now days it the district behold is replace with a different function.. In which is now catering for the tech industry, open green parks, and the berthing place where super yachts docks, retrofitting and made… Also the home of the New Zealand America’s cup team – Team New Zealand- Emirates…

Obelisks
one clear day at One tree Hill Obelisk- photograph on 1st – February – 2011 AD

When you see the obelisk in Auckland this is one of many influence landmarks in the urban central Auckland, known as one tree hill. When you arrive at One Tree hill,  the location will give you breath taking views of the natural  Auckland small metropolis landscape, its surroundings… covers all the compass directional points from all the way from extent of Bombay hills, to the views of past Takapuna… also to the shorelines of extent of the mountain lines of the Thames..

One tree hill itself, is not also a viewing platform it’s also a monument for one of the founding fathers of Auckland, Sir Logan Campbell, whom is buried in his tomb where the epitaph obelisk points upwards also to as a Visual Observation Reference guide point for arriving aircraft whom is bound to land at Auckland international Airport, or known wise as Jean Batten International Airport..

As to the name of One Tree Hill, there used to be several pine trees planted on the hill itself, until the six died out naturally, then one whom the last has been murdered…  historically the site where the obelisk sits on is where sits on is a Marae, a meeting hall in pre- colonial Auckland Past..
