Day 215 - Ensuite

Ensuite?
A room with a view?

Somehow we didn't expect to see this portaloo one storey above ground when we were out and about in town on Friday night. Also, if you zoom in (although it's not very clear as the photo was taken on my phone), you can see there is a sign saying "No parking. Unauthorised vehicles will be towed" - yet, there are cars parked directly beneath. I guess it's hard to take seriously a sign that is attached to a portaloo in the air.

Day 113 - Speckled building



Speckled building

This is the previously clos-ed building which was undergoing renovations these past few months. Well, it's open again now and has had something of a makeover! I'm hoping this won't be the latest trend for decorating buildings ...

Day 45 - Up on the roof


Up on the roof
View of some Wellington rooftops from a carpark building on a gloomy winter's day

Not too enticing, is it? I wonder whether this scene would have looked different if only the sun had been shining?
