Art Gallery and Harbor



Civic Center



Art Gallery - had a nice exhibit going on called "roundabout" which showcased works in different mediums from all over the world. It was two floors of universal thought exploring ideas of faith, capitalism, history, and what affects us in our own countries. Free entry and 1.5 hours later I finished the gallery and took pictures outside in the civil center.





Wicked silver fern ball suspended about ground.













At the top of this hill is the Wellington Lookout, which is Mount Victoria. I live at the bottom of Mount Victoria.



Awesome brewery that makes Issac's Apple Cider, which is super delicious.





No that green stuff is not paint, it's algae.







The wind is so strong here it blew the mini waterfall up.



Ducks shielding themselves from the wind. Cute :)



This is my grocery store. Always have good sales for us penny bruisers.



This is my hair blowing in every which way in the wind.

An alternative route home.



The route I decided to take home. Which starts at the top of Majoribank St.



This is the top of Majoribanks St, which turns into Courtney Place which is the main street of Wellington. the top of the hill leads to the Green Belt.





Sucks for your breaks.

















Excursion to the Hataitai Park Trails





This is Waitoa Road. It is at the bottom of the hill that the Wellington Lookout is.



There is this awesome take-away restaurant that has a lot of gluten free options. Everyone knows it as a pizza place. A devilishly good pizza place with pizzas with names like Purgatory, The Damned, and The Satan. You can also pick how hell hot you want it. Yum, the only pizza place I have been to that has black pleather waiting seats and red walls.
















Sometime there are quarantined plants, shrubs, and trees randomly. They are highly poisonous. I laugh and call them zombie trees.



Not a zombie tree.





Bike path. I'm too poor to have a bike so I walk the trails and hope a biker or a hobbit carriage does run me over.



Baby fern :)



Yup... weee bridge.



Perfect for afternoon tea....or Mushrooms.
