18 January 2014 ~ Auckland Domain
Listening to: The Little Willies ~ If You've Got The Money (2011-10-30 The Bell House, Brooklyn)
The Auckland Domain is Auckland's oldest park, and one of the largest in the city. It is only a 20 minute walk from my apartment.
The park contains all of the explosion crater and most of the surrounding tuff ring of the Pukekawa volcano. I find these trees so interesting, really without a trunk, yet robust branches.
It is summer here, and the weather is in the 70s (thank goodness not as hot as Australia). This bird was digging around in the dirt, and then finally settled down with wings spread. I wonder if this was to try and catch a breeze and cool off in the dirt?
The duck pond didn't have any ducks floating around, because they were all on the walk-way being fed by the pedestrians. There is a rule not to throw food in the water, to prevent contamination.
