Pukekura Park

An unforecasted warm afternoon in the park, not a parking spot to be found owing to the huge Tattoo Festival being held at the nearby TSB Stadium

Old slaughterhouse Urenui, North Taranaki NZ

The drive into New Plymouth from the north passes some of the most spectacular road scenery anywhere .

This old building  just on the left as you enter Urenui has fascinated me for a long time ; who used it , what was the population like back then ; is it really as old as it looks .  MLB

Tupare:

Last Saturday we went to Tupare. It was a little cold and windy, so I found a nice sheltered spot and this old lamppost.
I decided to try something a little different this time and did a pencil drawing of the lamppost, and then finished with watercolour. I used plenty of water and let it run.
