Day 19:

The Main (the river)

#SomethingBeautiful

Whau River, boats moored, and the Te Atatu Boating Club pontoon is on the far shore of the river. Unlike the morning views of the river mouth, this is looking upstream. #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

Miley sells intimacy with a fog machine, Selena sells vulnerability with a camera crew, and Celine just stands there and bleeds truth. Three “visual experiences,” three flavors of authenticity — curated, conceptual, and crushingly real.

Another beautiful Tamaki Makaurau sunrise. #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 @Bluejo

Sunrise with orange-brown sky on the horizon, looking across Auckland Harbour for a view of the horizon showing Auckland Harbour Bridge & the Auckland CBD skyline with Sky Tower sticking out.

This morning's view of the Whau River mouth from the bus. The tide was out. #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

Boats moored at Whau River mouth at low tide, early in the morning.

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

Carp (an introduced species) in Oakley Creek.

Calming view of Oakley Creek with New Zealand native plants including ferns & cabbage trees growing by the water's edge.

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...

This morning's view of the Whau River mouth from the bus. #publicTransport #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #bus #somethingBeautiful #aucklandScenes

Boats moored at Whau RIver mouth in the morning light. The water is still, the sky is pale blue, but golden dawn light reflects off the boat hulls.

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

Still stormwater pond surface mirrors cloudy blue sky, and grass and indigenous plants, flax & cabbage trees by the water's edge. An amenity shelter is visible on the right of the image.

View of downtown Auckland CBD skyline as seen across the water from the boardwalk. White clouds & blue sky are mirrored on the still pond surface in the foreground.

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

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.

Day 17:

Snow

#SomethingBeautiful

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

Auckland skyline seen from the west, with low cloud obscuring volcanic island Rangitoto on an overcast morning. The foreshore in the bottom of the image is blurry as the photo was taken from a moving bus.

Boats moored at Whau River mouth. It is an overcast morning but there is a bit of blue sky peeking out at the horizon.
