This decaying old fence-post always seems to catch my eye.

Man-made walking sights
Today I headed out on the Turitea Walkway again- this time 'backwards' from the Old West Rd carpark, then uphill through the Massey campus back to my car. On the way I took a few photos of things that were 'man-made'...
I realised that I seldom see the 'beauty' in power pylons- but with sunshine and blue skies behind it, this small pylon also caught my eye today.
I always enjoy noticing how shadows fall, and how they change through the day. I loved the way the shadow from these fence posts enlivened the path this morning!
Then there was this woman-made shadow as I crossed one of the pedestrian bridges over the Turitea Stream. It reminded me of some of the obligatory 'shadow photos' I took on the Camino in 2008!
It's very pleasant walking up through the Massey campus. You can make a toilet stop or sit or have a snack-break on a seat. There are not many students back for the year yet so it is almost too peaceful on the concourse.
There are lots of buildings to walk past of course, some a bit ugly. But even this ugly one surprised me with the wonderful reflection in its windows!

I liked your photos. We forget that there are manmade things that can have some beauty.

Yes, especially when the sun shines on them, and we have been a bit short of sunshine lately. I loved the way the sun made the pylon look quite beautiful in its landscape.
DeleteSome really great photos. Love the fence post line and the window on the ugly bldg.
ReplyDeleteI have walked that route quite often, and have ever seen that fence post line like that. I guess I just happened to be there at the right time with the right amount of sun yesterday!
DeleteThere is beauty in so many things, so many places. We are usually too busy to see them. Your photos were lovely.
ReplyDelete..and sometimes we need some sunshine to make us more aware of the beauty. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.
