As promised here are some of the photos from previous excursions.
This year Telecom has set up a Christmas tree down at Victoria Park. I would say it is replete with lights, but the tree itself is comprised lights. Lights showing distinct colour changes and patterns I might add. Apparently they only repeat every 1.5 hours. Which isn't bad.
You might be find this first picture a little odd.
It is taken from inside a phone booth looking up at the tree. What the....? I hear you say. Well, there are 4 booths at each compass point of the tree. Inside the tree you can dial Santa and leave a message for him about what presents you want, how good you've been and what you'll do to him if he doesn't cough up said presents. Once your message is complete and you hang up, you're told to look up and you see a string of lights light up blue and head towards the star at the top of the tree. Quite impressive on a Wednesday night at 1 am in the morning. I should state this was last week.
This second photo is taken from underneath the tree. Where you can sit or lie down on bean bags facing upwards taking in the lights and all their psychedelic glory. It was unbelievably soothing. Mind you, simply getting out of the office is soothing at the moment, but let's not dwell on that.
And then on Saturday, there was Auckland's Christmas in the Park. This was taken in the evening around 6 pm. There were still people arriving, and this photo doesn't capture those people between us and the stage. Of which there would have been a significant number. That's the Auckland Musuem up on the hill for those unaware.
And now for some music. I've been listening to a number of albums on high rotate, and selections from them are as follows:
MGMT - Time to Pretend
Kayne West - Champion
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
Glasvegas - Geraldine
Eagles of Death Metal - Wannabe in LA
Enjoy.
