Weekend walk in the city: Oakley Creek Path (Waterview/ Pt. Chevalier) is a bunch of connected city walkways one of which leads to the Oakley Creek waterfall, the only waterfall in central Auckland. The creek itself is home to some (obviously introduced) carp. #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #walk #waterfall #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

Soon. (Hopefully).
The two new CBD train stations are complete, now just waiting for the opening of the City Rail Link (CRL) before Karanga-A-Hape & Te Waihorotiu stations are open to the public. The only date we've been given is that it'll be some time in 2026...

Took me until this year to find out about the house in Pt. Chev with a smiley painted on their roof. As seen from bus to work. #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

Bunch of houses with one of them where a smiley of two eyes and a smile has been painted in white on its gray roof. In the foreground of the picture are Auckland foreshore & coastal plants.

The beauty of stormwater ponds. This from yesterday's walk in Te Atatū. An amenity shelter is next to the pond & the Auckland CBD can be seen across the water from the walkway by the shelter. #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

Mōrena Tamaki Makaurau, you are looking gorgeous this morning. #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes #sunRise

“There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.” -Jo Walton

Sunrise in Auckland. A view over the water toward the downtown centre buildings with Sky Tower standing proud. The golden early morning light is reflected in the water & lights up the buildings.

Accidental watercolour effect (everything is blurry) with this morning's photo taken from bus. It's zoomed-in view from a moving bus of Auckland Harbour Bridge with Rangitoto Island behind it, with low cloud against the morning sky. #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

Calm morning at Whau River mouth on this morning's commute. #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

Boats moored at Whau River mouth this morning. The water is calm & reflects the clear morning sky. It is early enough that the horizon looks golden but the clear sky shifts to blue as you look up.

After lots of rain, we get "a break in the weather". There a bit of blue sky peeking out on the horizon. But still lots of cloud cover. #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

"What a cold and long rainy day
Where on earth is the sun hid away?"

How's the serenity? Boats moored at Whau River mouth on a calm morning with the light on the horizon golden but fading into blue as you lift your gaze upwards. Photo taken on the bus commute. #howsTheSerenity #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes
