DEC 09 - I is for Island... I is for Isolation...
Day nine of the December Diary 2010 Project. Taking a photo a day following the Alphabet...
I couldn't let the month go by without including my favourite I-sland... Rangitoto
It dawned on me today... I is for Island! So it was the perfect choice!%-)
Many of my friends know it is my favourite of Auckland's Landmark...
"The youngest of the islands in the Hauraki Gulf, Rangitoto emerged from the sea around 700 years ago in a series of volcanic explosions. Rising to a height of 260 metres the circular island presents the same uniform appearance and is visible from most parts of the mainland. Rangitoto's name has been translated to mean the day the blood of Tamatekapua was shed, relating to a major Maori battle at Islington Bay about 1350. Rangitoto is an icon of Auckland city."
I love it's magestic silhouette and presence...
It always give me a sense of tranquility and calmness...
Especially after a hectic or stressful day...
The photo on the left was taken in a late lunch break @ 2pm...
The one on the right after work @ 6pm.
My Shadow and I like to spend time here when we can...
Enjoying our surroundings... In quiet I-solation...
Here is a flashback to my first Diary December 9th 1991
And here's TED's Diary... I promised him I'd upload it this year too! - December 9th 2007
