The day before Christmas Eve Rich and I decided to head down to Waitangi Park to check out the city Christmas tree.
The weather was exceptionally weird on this day for Wellington - we live in a very windy city so in general fog and cloud doesn't sit around for long.
But on the day before Christmas eve there seemed to be a whole lot of very low cloud around - in fact it closed down the airport for some time and people who were traveling for Christmas couldn't come into or leave from Wellington.
I decided to take some pictures on our walk as the city rarely looks like this - in fact I thought the tree looked rather like something out of Bladerunner in these photos.






how huge!

Wow, I had heard Wellington was foggy, but i hadn't imagined this! And then it got super-heated for Christmas, I know - I was driving around seeing family in a car with no air-con!
ReplyDeleteSorry for those travellers, but I like the effect the fog has in your images. Makes everything feel so silent.
ReplyDeleteI love the futuristic tree, the fog not so much! We've had loads of it this winter, coupled with torrential rain and wind. I can't wait to escape! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat tree is brilliant. Hope the fog has lifted now though. xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, the tree does look very Bladerunner! What interesting weather. I can't imagine it's very nice to be in though.
ReplyDeleteI love it - it's so ethereal and mysterious! Sarah xxx
ReplyDeleteNow that is a tree!! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! xx
