portal
a doorway, gate, or other entrance,
especially a large and imposing one.
One of the portals between…
…different gardens at the
Hamilton Gardens in New Zealand.
I am told doors similar to these
featured in Narnia.

MCoW-River

Still in New Zealand’s
North Island.
We were travelling between
Whakatane and Whangamata
and captured a few images of this river.
Last week I published this image thinking
it was White Island…
Many thanks to Betty’s expert for
clarifying my White Island query.
Turns out I was sold a furphy and this is not
White Island (the volcano) but,
Moutohora Island also called Whale Island
and it’s only about 9 km from shore.
Makes a lot more sense.
Our Auckland born and bred daughter-in-law
had not ever visited the end of her motherland
and was no help 🙂

In 2018 during our North Island road trip
we visited the Ohope (southern) end of
The Bay of Plenty
Locals told me this was White Island.
In view of recent activity over there I was
just wondering if you could clarify that for me please.
I was only using a 250 mm lens and the island
appears much closer than the 50 km it is
from Whakatane or Optiki Beaches.
Happy New Year to you Betty and thank
you for visiting my site and introducing yours.

Oranges of sorts from all over.
General Motors called this colour ‘Jaffa‘.
Most people call it orange.
A burnt orange?
Even the clothes line has orange.
Oranges?
