Wellington Waterfront - Artworks and Wharfpiles

Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Artwork 1.

He's about to dive.
People hold his hand.
Take lots of photos.
And there are no railings to clutter the picture, or the wharf...

Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Artwork 2.

Whale of a tale in bronze.

Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Artwork 3.

Water Whirler.
Bring on the wind.
Blow wind and crack your cheeks...


Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Artwork 4.

Fountain of fun.



Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Artwork 5.

... the last word in part of a line on wood at the edge of a wharf that reads: "...the sudden pull of kahawai or kingfish..."




Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Wharf and piles 1.

Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Wharf and piles 2.

You are welcome to jump off this one. Even a ladder up so you can do it again.

Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Wharf and piles 3.

All those bollards, ropes, chains, and cracked-open hunks of hard wood.

Wellington Waterfront. Midwinter pictures. Wharf and piles 4.

... and again...

Great photo essay Joel! Certainly shows that Auckland City in particular is bereft of visionary city planners, community minded politicians, disinterested administrators and sustainabilty focussed property developers. The present local government bill will ensure that self interest of a few will perpetuate hodge podge, ad hoc planning and future development of the whole region not just the CBD.
