Older Buildings





























AS a consequence of Nelsons early start, in NZ terms that is, we are fortunate to have many delightful older buildings and churches around town.

Great Sunset over Tahunanui Beach






















Makes for a very pleasing waterfront drive (or bike or walk) home in the evenings for many Nelson City workers.

Seaside Walk




















The footpath that travels alongside Rocks Road is a place where you'll see walkers out enjoying the fresh air. As you can tell from the photo, yesterday was just another of those famous Nelson days.

Amazing Sunset last night























When I photographed it this is all I got, I couldn't catch on image the rainbow like arcs radiating out from the setting sun, it sure looked great.




















With a little bit of help from HDR you can see just a little bit more of the effect that I saw.

Isel Park Pigeon BirdHouse





























As a kid I remember enjoying summer holidays playing in Isel Park.




























Although these days there are less & less of the beautiful old 150yr old trees - recent storms over the last decade have decimated them unfortunately.



















But in amongst it all there is a couple of grand size bird houses like these.
