Post card from Auckland

Fiona and I have been walking the streets of Auckland. Foot travel always gives one the opportunity to capture a few of the bits of public art, textures and structures. As part of this Auckland postcard I thought I'd just share a a very very small number of photos of 'public art' I saw and captured.

Stacked stone arch  - entry to our local park

Rusted figure - appeared to be part of a small art precinct

Series of peace murals - restored and transferred from original wall to poster wall  

One of the many peace murals

One of three installations in Western Park by John Radfrord recording three demolished historic buildings

One of many word seats in Lorne Street - beautiful stone carving

Fiona up close and personal to the lettering

A flight of birds as a fragment of a larger sculpture

One of a series of peace doves suspended  in a lane

Beautiful larger post installation on the waterfront 

Painting of children in a window on a derelict building

Of course what one sees and then what one captures on the iPhone is but a very very very small fragment of what the world around us offers - but at least we drift through it with eyes open. None of the photos have been altered in any way hence the fact that many are not quite framed well.
