Sleeper On Cuba
With the weather being occasionally nice the sleepers come out of the woodwork… Its amazing what they can sleep through since there was a busker not more than 50 metres away getting the crowd to clap along and generally being noisy.

Occupy Wellington Again
I walked past the Occupy Wellington camp last weekend while on my normal photo wanderings. They are back on the verge of being evicted again with the council trying to clean up the city for the up coming rugby 7’s at the start of February.
The protest has changed a bit from when it started as most of the original activists having left only to be replaced with predominantly homeless people. There has even been accusations of verbal abuse to female passerbys late at night.
It seems that this protest has lost its way a little… But at least it still makes for interesting images 🙂
Just after I took these a massive gust of wind nearly blew them away…Literally.

The other weekend we took the girls out for a horse ride… Needless to say I took my camera 🙂

In The Navy
Last weekend the New Zealand Navy was in Wellington port to present their colours to the parliament for their 70th anniversary (yes our Navy is only 70 years old). All the ships except one on active duty were there and although there is only seven in the fleet it still made for a rather impressive display.
The ships were all open to the public but I didnt get a chance to go and have a look.
This image was taken just after they had docked…

Smokin
For the last few weeks in Civic Square the has been an African festival happening. Mostly is seems to revolve around food 🙂

African Drummers
Walking through Civic Square at the moment there pretty much always seems to be something on… I guess the rugby world cup tourists need something to keep them entertained between rugby matches.

Book Reading On Cuba Street
Before the Rugby World Cup Wellington was a much more peaceful place where people knew how to interact with each other in interesting ways that made for good photography. Now with lots more people around you would think this would happen even more, but no… Lots more people and not a shot to be found, well maybe a few :).
