The railway station

    Did you know you can have photos in your blog? It is pretty easy. Just choose "Upload file" from the main menu (that is is, if you have a blog here).

    Looking upwards to the dome

    The dome at Auckland Downtown railway station

    We went and had a look at the new railway station in downtown Auckland. As we were wandering through the building I was struck by the beautiful windows. Click on the image for the full size picture. The "window' is actually a glass dome in the ceiling.

    It really is a lovely station, but it is a shame that there are no trains—I've been there three or four times and there is never a train in the station. In fact, all the people I see there seem to be tourists exploring the architecture—not actually going anywhere. In the defence of the station, I should say I've only been there at weekends. How different is it during the working week?

    Oh well, back to writing …
