A photo taken in 2003, in a car on the way back to Auckland. Using my crusty old Olympus 3.5 mega pixel digicam, my first point-and-shoot. Not bad quality eh?!

A charming old maritime village

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.

Many people would come here to fish on a summer day. I wonder what type of fishes they get here.

Darkness falls, but fear not. At the end of the passage, a light breaks through.

Colours of autumn.

Autumn is my favourite season of the year. Everything just seem to be more beautiful in this lovely time of the year. I love the luscious colours the season brings, the colder air, and the beautiful scenery. To me, autumn seems to bring along a more vivid world and enriches my imaginations. Went to the city today and captured some photos of the season’s grace. Hope you like them as much as I do.
