A Bird of Paradise flower (Strelitzia) with a backdrop of ferns at the Wellington Botanic Garden, New Zealand. The fern (Silver Fern) is an accepted symbol of New Zealand's identity since the 1880s.
Solace in the Wind, the iconic landmark on Wellington’s waterfront, is arguably New Zealand’s best-loved public art work. The two-metre cast-iron statue depicts a naked man with his arms flung back behind him facing out towards the elements of Wellington’s windy harbour.

Set in the heart of royal London, Wellington Arch was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace, later becoming a victory arch proclaiming Wellington's defeat of Napoleon. Crowned by the largest bronze sculpture in Europe, it depicts the Angel of Peace descending on the 'Quadriga' - or four-horsed chariot - of War.

The Wellington Arch, also known as the Constitution Arch or (originally) as the Green Park Arch, is a Grade I-listed triumphal arch by Decimus Burton that forms a centrepiece of Hyde Park Corner in central London, between the corner where Hyde Park meets Green Park. The Arch stands on a large green-space traffic island with crossings for pedestrian access. From its construction (1826–1830) the arch stood in a nearby location, slightly to the east, directly across from Burton's Ionic screen entrance to Hyde Park; it was moved a short distance to its current site at the top of the Constitution Hill road in 1882–1883. The triumphal arch originally supported a colossal equestrian statue of the 1st Duke of Wellington by the sculptor Matthew Cotes Wyatt, acquiring its name as a result. Peace descending on the Quadriga of War by sculptor Adrian Jones, a bronze of the Goddess of Victory Nike riding a quadriga (an ancient four-horse chariot), has surmounted the arch since 1912.

Wellington is such a verdant city. This house is perhaps a 20 min walk from the center of town and is surrounded by greenery (and reddery). Unimaginable in Sydney
A goodbye North Island shot of Wellington at dusk before hopping on the ferry the next day to make our way down to our new home in Kaiapoi near Christchurch. This is a 3-image HDR stack.
Wellington has some very cool buildings. This one just begs to be viewed as a part of its surroundings rather than an isolated object.
Another one from a wander early on a perfect spring morning.
Hope your week has started well. We fly home this afternoon.
I spotted Samuel In Wellington as I was sat people watching. Some people just stand out from the crowd and his face caught my attention. I ran down the street and caught up with him in an attempt to capture his portrait. With hair like his I wasn't about to let him get away. He's from France and spoke little English so I showed him my instagram and he kindly let me photograph him. What an infectious smile.
I took this photo early in the morning at Wellington Point. I really thought that wouldn't find many people around at that time, but yes there were some walking, jogging and most of the time they wanted to go to the end of the jetty to have a look to the sunrise, so I had to wait a bit to take this long exposure shot without people in it.
Living in a small town or city like Wellington you start to notice people as you go about your day. Their faces become familiar and they become more than just another person, rather a human being with an important story to tell. Wellington is made up of people from all walks of life and I find people very open to sharing their story. I spotted Macy today as I walked through the city. As we began to swap stories I told her that I had seen her walking along Cuba street before. She then pointed out that she has noticed me also. It's a nice feeling to live in a place where people notice you. Everybody matters no matter what your story is.
The sweet taste of concrete.

Due to the popularity of the other shot of this small building, here's another angle. I wasn't going to upload this one but you've all changed my mind.
Visiting the Wellington snow sheds on a rainy day was a blessing. For one, it kept me out of the rain (mostly), and for another, the shadows were soft, which allowed me to better capture the texture of the place.
I took maybe eight sheets while in and out of the sheds, now turned into trails. Some of them I like quite a bit.
The problem is that they can all start to look a bit samey. I always like the look, but telling them apart can be a bit tiring.
Also, this was a complete nightmare to focus.
