Today I was involved in photo session. A President of the local photo club invited me to catch up and took some shots of a model. It was great time for me to see how to work with models, how to arrange assistants, how to manage hand-held flashes (in assistant’s hand). I was really impressed […]

A couple is making home video. I guess they are tourists inspired by a beautiful view of Rangitoto Island in Waitemata Harbour. No one can resist to take a picture or record a couple of minutes of this icon of Auckland. * * *

Here is one of central beaches of Auckland. It’s Mission Bay. It’s very popular place to walk, to ride a bike, to swim, to have a picnic, to dine etc. We come there usually to walk along coastal line but Anton rides his bike. Despite overcast day and a smell of rain it was very […]

My son and two his friends (they are brothers) are comparing Anton’s bell with a bell of a rent bike. On the background a mate packs his rent bikes in his truck. You can also notice rent prices for three types of bikes. In last October I wrote about a bike for three riders. Now […]

Once I was a witness of a terror. Two very fit men in black wet suits jumped to water and quick swam toward a cruise ship. The ship went along a waterway from port of Auckland and two swimmers reached the ship very fast. Unfortunately a battery in my camera got flat when they blown […]

A fountain at Mission Bay is one of very few fountains in Auckland and probably it’s the largest fountain in Auckland. In hot summer day it cools down air around and gives kids a place to play and swim. * * *

Не смотря на тучи над головой, не смотря на дождик, срывающийся из них, влюбленные невозмутимо обнимаются на виду у всего Мишнбея 🙂 С Днем Святого Валентина вас всех! 🙂 * * *

A car, a ballustrade, chairs, a table… What something common between them is? Their curiosity is 🙂 Despite that the car looks very nice and fresh 🙂 * * *

Паспортная опупея, которая началась в сентябре прошлого года сегодня завершилась окончательно и положительно. Цели у нас были простые – выписаться из российской квартиры для ее последующей продажи. Но оказывается выписывают только лично (по крайней мере в той деревне где я жил) либо через консульство. Лично ехать не хотелось, да и не получилось бы, потому как […]

Sometimes (not very often but we could we wish) we have a walk with Anton around our place. Anton rides his bike and we just walking. In the far side of the circle track there is a deck with beautiful view. There is a stream, a very small waterfall, a peaceful back-water and a palm. […]

On last weekend we were invited to join to friends party. For dessert we had very nice cake “New Zealand”. * * *

I don’t like to talk about negative things in New Zealand. Yes, definitely, there are many cons here. But it’s better to live in New Zealand instead of Russia. The worst thing is that amount of cons is growing year after year… On last weekend we had a walk to Kite-Kite falls at Piha. Every […]

I don’t know what this statue was erected for. I tried to find information in Google but couldn’t. Though it’s very interesting composition. The statue would say “Look at our achievements, man!” 🙂 * * *

Another thing I use every day, just use… It’s tortuous footpaths. I couldn’t remember any non strait footpath or road. All footpaths are straight and cross each other perpendicularly despite cut corners by people. Here very likely a corner would be cut by footpath. And even such tortuous tracks don’t bring any mind troubles. I […]
