Wellington Summer!

Finally took some pictures of Oriental Parade (I mentioned before that it is Wellington's equivilent of Mission Bay). My friend Row and I walk the Parade sometimes after work when it's a nice day. Here are some pics I took ...



It may not look like it, but this is actually a Man-made beach. Meaning that two years ago, it wasn't there. I have no idea where they got the sand etc but it looks pretty real and it is always chocca with people enjoying the sun. This picture was taken after 5pm, so it was still pretty hot by then.



A shot of Wellington from the waterfront. The big black building in the centre is where I work, the State Insurance Tower. The view from the breakout room is amazing as you can porbably tell.



Some school kids swimming in the harbour. It's dragon boating season so all the school kids are normally there every day training for the big event. I have no idea why I took a picture of them but at the time it seemed like a good idea.



Here is a closer shot of the State building taken from the bridge. If you look closely you can see that it says www.state.co.nz, how is that for advertising!!!
Wellington really is a nice place when it is sunny, it's just the winter that I am not looking forward to because I know it's going to be brutal!

Well that's it for today, I hope you enjoyed my snaps!!

Laters :)
