My last day at work before the Xmas break was sunny so I went to the park at lunchtime. As always there were plenty of squirrels searching for food.
Glad to take a trip to the park today, there were only a few people there, as it's s/b to rain and very chilly. Love these colors.

Personally my favourite image taken during the Beast From The East storm last week. I already had this shot in mind as I'd taken a similar picture way back in February 2009, which was the last time we'd had any significant snowfall in the city. As I have said on previous posts, we don't actually receive much lasting snowfall in Carlisle itself, so when it does you have to be ready to make the most of it. Unfortunately, when I took the initial image back in 2009 I'd just started seriously getting into photography, so my skills weren't perfect and the image wasn't technically great. However, I did like the image and thought hopefully I'd be able to recreate it sometime in the future if it ever snowed heavily here again, which luckily it did last week. I loved how the tree-lined avenue just disappears into the snowstorm, creating lots of depth and atmosphere. Thankfully, although it was snowing extremely heavily and the wind was very strong, it was blowing sideways and not directly at me. Therefore, I was able to snap a few shots without much snow blowing on the lens.
The "sunken cross" memorial feature
Te Awamutu War Memorial Park
The War Memorial Park is the largest and most popular park in town. Built around the Mangahoe Stream, the park includes a duck pond, fountain, playground, paved walks, open spaces for picnicking and events, and a "sunken cross" memorial feature
The estate around the castle is about 130 hectares. The park of Groeneveld castle was built in the Dutch Baroque style, which is characterized by strict geometric shapes and impressive driveways.
When the English landscape style took off in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the park was transformed. Water features, hills, winding paths and trees were created.
An ice cellar was also constructed. It still exists and is now inhabited by big-eared bats.
With these two pictures, I conclude the series of Memorial Park in Te Awamutu, New Zealand

Brook Park
Park in Te Kuiti, New Zealand
Brook Park is one of the most significant reserves within the district and provides a leisure reserve for resident and visitors as well as protects the community's heritage.
The Park is situated on the north western boundary of the Te Kuiti township. The many exotic trees form an umbrella over the hillside, creating an Autumn display of colour and an attractive entrance to Te Kuiti.
