Sunset From Omana Beach | Maraetai | Auckland

Pin It Now!

Now and then my wife and I will randomly make spur of the moment decision whilst driving around. On this occassion we decided to go for a drive to Maraetai which is just outside of Auckland. We ended up at Omana beach and got there just in time to watch the sunset.

If you enlarge the photo and look close enough you will notice the Auckland city skyline on the horizon to the left.

University of Auckland Clocktower Building at Night

Pin It Now!

The Clocktower building at the University of Auckland seems to be a bit of a tourist hotspot. Whenever I am taking time out across the road in Albert Park, there is always a steady stream of mostly Asian tourists taking photos of it. I think they would appreciate how it looks at night.

Corrupt Government + Complicit Police = Tyranny

Pin It Now!

One thing that you have to love about universities is the number of clubs or organisations they have that are pretty much fighting for a cause; whatever it may be. This is statement “Corrupt Government + Complicit Police = Tyranny” was spray painted into the sidewalk on Princes St at Auckland University. The way I see it, this statement is describing something that is common place in just about every country in the world but to varying extents. What are your thoughts?
