Here are some photos taken at Devonport back in the summer. Devonport is a maritime village with lots of old time charms. A very relaxing town located in Auckland North Shore, it houses some unique shops, cafes and old character homes. The charming old town with rich heritage has a very nostalgic feeling to it. There are also three volcanoes situated here. This is one of the best places that offers a spectacular view of Auckland city in my opinion. Great place to hang out on a hot summer day. Devonport is just a 10 minutes ferry ride away from downtown Auckland, or alternately a half an hour drive from Auckland central.
The iconic Esplanade Hotel on the waterfront. It was built in 1903.
The breathtaking view of Auckland city and harbour bridge from Mt Victoria.
Clock tower on waterfront.
A fish boat docked at the pier.
View of Auckland city from the pier.
Many people would come here to fish on a summer day. I wonder what type of fishes they get here.

I like the light blue sky.. very nice photos..
Between, your website keeps prompting me error messages on IE.. Hmm.. Not sure is my computer problem or not..
CC: It is a very nice little town. I really love it.
Not sure what’s going on, It works fine on firefox and safari. I don’t have IE on my mac, so can’t check. Let me know if it happens again! Thanks for letting me know.

Hey cc, finally! This is the 5th time I have tried to visit your blog, something is wrong. Each time your blog appeared, it just went blank and my connection lost…..I am so glad I am able to type a comment now.
Look all the shots and it is so peaceful and quiet there. It is a rat race here in Singapore I bet you know huh?
Have a nice day….if I don’t visit it means I have bad connection pal…..I’m still here for you LOL
CC: Oh! Sorry about that, I had some problem with one of the plugins, it should be ok now.
