October Luna
photograph taken during a oncoming clouded evening of thirteenth -October – 2013 AD

This month has been very, extreme windy, with very much so of majority of clouds in the landscape.. I guess at the moment over here in New Zealand we’re still breaking into spring….. taking this landscaped photo of the Moon’s Luna surface,  was very just in the nick of time.. when the very sunset clouds have roamed complete over that night. In darken cotton sheered clouds from the southern west direction.. in slightly generous matter.. in the early parts of the evening..

Looking at the Luna, that night was great, despite the oncoming onslaught of clouds, that night.. you could see that, that the moon was in two quarters, also that you could see the beautifully outlines of the craters shadowing there curious intriguing timeless depths.. that night was great, normally you could see only the dark and the light boundaries, known as the Terminator..  In this night, you could see more of the white tones, edging  into the darkness… with the pots shadows of the large or small craters..

” the newly acquired spacious entrance of Auckland Art Gallery “

Over the last half decade, there’s been a a lot of changes recently  in with the renovations of the Auckland Art Gallery, as you see this is the newest extensions to the building itself, going there last, there’s been a more of openness in allowing more light in, bring in more natural light into  the building,  As in the past it was a Edwardian constructed building, with very spacious windows, letting light in, but not the complete openness of light in which of it in which was structurally  ordered…. in now you have the non-barricade relationship between you in the installation and nature… in brings a relax nature within you…..without been closeted in..

A two year old sunset…

25 September 2011 1900 hours photograph taken from one tree hill upper playgrounds….

Today it’s least than quarter into spring, and it’s somehow beginning to feel like the feel of summery is coming, but two years ago, it came early… but early freshly chilled though…. One nice thing that then is that you get to see more of a prolonging sunset in the West down to Phia as you see the beautiful clouds glow with warm colours of warm lime citrine yellow, oranges to the more of the glow soft colour pastels pinkish red-ish orange..  shadowing silhouette trees, buildings has if was a life-size, shadow puppet play on real life…stage…

Photo taken on twenty third – February – two thousand and twelve Anno Domin. in the westward direction.

When you look into the western direction from Auckland Observatory Known as Stardome. You could see a lot of timeless unique events like you may see a sunset many, or multiple times, and you say it’s just another sunset…?  Well when you look at one, it’s never the same again like the other ones like the day before, the presently now, or presently tomorrow.

The clouds are different, the warmth of looking at that moment of feeling the beautifully citrine orange hues giving you a sense a natured regeneration refreshness as you look down to the awe of the horizon westwardly as the sun settles down the direction of Piha beach.  Also when it’s slightly scattered  clouded, it can be a good thing as giving you more light to work from and comfort.

In that surroundings it’s a place where it people exercise, weekend  family fun where there’s place located nearby so you could do family BBQ’s in the park. Plus it’s one very good location to have your wedding photographs taken timelessly.
