I’m a fairly regular visitor to Pah Homestead in Auckland because it houses a fantastic collection of New Zealand art which I never tire of seeing.
The house was built in the late 1870s as a private home, with extensive and beautifully landscaped grounds. These are now owned by Auckland City and open as a public park. A park I’d never visited until today.

It was a bit too hot to explore much, so I think another visit is in order.

I find this photo very appealing. The cloud formation adds a sense of space to this landscape picture. Truly a great shot, Su!

I especially like the first shot and the POV you used. Yes, the clouds really make the photo. That lawn requires some serious mowing!!

Thanks Janet. The cloud formations were lovely. I was thinking it would be quite nice to be one of the gardeners for that park. Especially since they have ride-on mowers π

I really like the bottom photo. It has that dramatic wide-angle lens feel to it. Cheers!
