Devonport is about twenty minutes away from Downtown Auckland by road and only just 12 minutes curising time if by ferry across the Waitemata Harbour! you can see the Harbour bridge on the right that connect the city and North Shore by road!
Hope you enjoy the view and many thanks for viewing and time

Hi Tony,
nice green grass spot in that city view. Impressing POV from a high point into the city, good diagonal lines and light.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Tony,
I have two things clear to make the day that visits New Zealand: the first not to lose no to me sunset and if possible near the sea and the second thing is to visit that hill with the banks where to seat to contemplate those so splendid views to me.

I congratulate to you Tony , this landscape of great depth is a spectacle of light, clearness and colors! Bravo,

Best regards, Jordi

Hello Tony
Excellent view of the city. It is a very good idea to include the green bench in the picture. Details and colours are amazing. I would like to sit on that bench and relax with this scene in front of me.
Best regards
Denis!

Bonjour Tony,
grâce à toi, on connait maintenant bien cette ville et tout ce qui l'entoure. Une terre un peu mystérieuse que la Nouvelle Zélande, sans doute parce qu'elle se trouve aux antipodes de l'Europe où j'habite.
Très belle carte postale bein colorée, un POV avantageux pour tout ce qui compose le paysage.
Best regards.
Daniel.

gunbud (27801) 2008-03-27 17:56

Hi Tony,
What a grand spot to take a brown bag lunch with an apple and sit for about a half hour in this brilliant sun light. The lush green colors in the foreground contrast beautifully with the blue of the ocean and the white sky line. Excellent details and sharpness to this fine image.
Regards, Tom

parbo (10968) 2008-03-27 18:03

hi Ho

NZ has a lot of natural photographic subjects and you have lucky to be there. I can imagine sitting on this bench for hours just absorbing the sun and thinking of nothing except the view here. I have read about CY Leow's NZ experience and photography and it is a great place.

Good shot.

TFS, bill

Tony -

OK, that does it! I'm moving. You can put me up, right? Oh, hell, I'll sleep on this bench if I have to. And how long does it take to apply for residency?

A really nice shot, with great diagonals, color and light control.

Best,

Hi Tony. I only usually see Auckland from the motorway on the way through so this is a part I don’t normally see. Great view and well captured. Well composed with the seat and view. Good colour and sharpness also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hello Tony,

What a vista!
Kiwis certainly appreciate their scenery. There is always a bench strategically placed to make the most of the view!

I would love to be here with a pair of binoculars.

A well chosen viewpoint, lovely crisp details and great composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

This is an awesome view, my friend.
That bench and those strong diagonals are absolute winners.
Light, color and overall definition are definitely Tony's, and this is definitely Auckland, NZ as seen through your very own lens!
Wonderful composition. Thanks for sharing, Tony.

Hugs,
Fulvio.

josepmarin (33785) 2008-03-30 11:26

Hi Tony,
Your photo is an authentic invitation to sit down in this bench to enjoy the splendid sight of the city that you offer us in this setting. I like the bench in foreground and the depth of the image, that it has a great graphical balance of its elements and a great work with the light and the colors.
Some day I would like to visit your wonderful country. Some day...
Friendly regards from Barcelona, mi amigo.

Parabéns e Abraço!

Hey Tony,

You sweeping landscape is of Auckland is remarkable. I would not just sit up there but camp overnight!

Devonport is like San Francisco's quaint Sausalito and Tiburon. The main street is filled with novelty shops, cafes, gallerys even an art deco theatre. I remember the weekend food bazaar (ferry pier terminal) that sells delicious deli and paella, dude I had a feast!

Cheers!
