Back to the sun | photo by @alistairkeddieAuckland has some nice beaches around the city more sheltered and safe than those out west. This one at Narrow Neck overlooks islands in the Hauraki Gulf and is overhung with native pohutukawa trees. These grow everywhere around here and each year around Christmas flower bright red. This …
Mortal | photo by @alistairkeddieI met up today with my good friend Chris for one of our occasional walk and talks. Generally we have a good idea where we are walking but the talking tends to meander and wander much wider. Sparked by a recent event, we touched on the transience of life and importance …
Curls and knots | photo by @alistairkeddieGood morning @burndiary from Auckland, New Zealand where the weather, for summer continues to disappoint. I dont mind the grey cloud, the drizzling then heavy rain, the strong wind, then sun then cloud then rain again, four seasons in one day. But the hot and humid, oppressively sticky and …

One Tree Hill | photo by @alistairkeddie Out and about today on a grey and wet day in Auckland and up One Tree Hill for some non existent views. Messed around instead making some stitched pans before settling on the monument at the top of the hill, one of the many extinct volcanoes that dot …
Flightless bird fight | photo by @alistairkeddie Good morning @burndiary and welcome to day three. Being from the northern hemisphere Im still blown away by palm trees. Surprisingly, these do grow outside back home but not with such abundance or profusion. Every day I see them and everyday they remind me I’m on the opposite …
Auckland Harbour Bridge | photo by @alistairkeddie Went for a wander today down by the harbour bridge to grab some multi exposures using Hipstamatic. Always surprised by the results that confound any pre shoot expectations and enjoying the collision of heavy engineering and playful experimentation. The bridge is close to where I live and a …
A New Day | photo by @alistairkeddie Good morning @burndiary and welcome to 2017. Looking forward to a new day and year. Hoping you all have, are having, or had a good Hogmanay. Being originally from Scotland, its mid winter back there and still seems somehow wrong to celebrate the season mid summer here, but …
