He(art) of the City

Catching the train into Auckland City with Miss B and Mr J, is always a fun holiday trip.  I had plans to do a photographic scavenger hunt and had made a list accordingly.  We started off well, finding sculptures, heart murals, and birds, but derailed somewhat as we discovered the glitzy eyecatching installation in the foyer of the Auckland Art Gallery, and then Unity Books, the Auckland Library and Real Groovy.  Wandering back down Queen Street via Aotea Square, we came across the polar bears and penguins.

We may not have completed our list, but have certainly discovered some interesting new places and art works.

  1. So much great artwork! I love the gnome, that is a lot of fun. Funnily enough I saw the polar bears recently on another blog, but not the penguins. I loved the bears, but I think that I love the penguins even more, they are so much fun aren't they!!
