So the Orange-u-tan has made up 🐂💩tariffs & put them on 🐧 & random🏝️of other nations. We will be lucky if all this does is throw the US into recession & not cause a 🌏depression. Other nations will avoid the US & trade with each other more. NZ<>US trade is small, someone else will get our wine etc

Today's pictures, the late afternoon light on the hills of the Pauatahanui inlet. I really like the way the low angle of light picks out the shape of the land. The tide was out. The trees framing the middle shot are Pohutukawa, there are a few flowers still on them.

Driving to work this morning I just had to stop and take some 📷, the day was so good. Look at the shadows on the hills across the inlet! Then I went and sat in an office for the rest of the day. Three pics, from the same spot, x1, x.5, x 2

Looking a little more time worn, but hey, it is a 1000 years older (almost). That magnificent lady, the Hagia Sophia. Again people of the world enjoying it together on the upper floor and respecting its use as a Mosque

So much anguish and negativity, even here This isn't a great pic but I liked it. People of the world enjoying the beauty of the Blue Mosque together in peace and respect. Thanks to the Mosque for sharing their holy place with all of us tourists.

According to legend, if you were standing here 5000 years ago, you would see a fleet arriving (in the distance) & soldiers stepping ashore, the sun glinting off their helmets and shields. You would probably be thinking "Oh no! Who has the boss upset now?" The "boss" would be Priam, King of Troy.
