Writer's block: What do you like best about your city or hometown? What do you want to change?

What do I like best...


Standing on Mt Victoria, Devonport, looking out towards Rangitoto Island.


Swinging right to North Head and the islands beyond.


Further right again, looking out across the Waitemata Harbour.


And Auckland City itself, from Mt Victoria. The port on the left, CBD and Sky Tower in the middle, and cruise ships berthed on the right of the picture.






HMNZS Otago coming home.


Last year's Fleet Entry.



What else do I love...


Dominion Road.

Black sand beaches. Icecream at Mission Bay. Families at Cornwall Park in the summer. The view from One Tree Hill. Second hand bookshops. Lights flashing on the port at night. The main street of Howick. Everyone knows someone who knows someone.

And what would I change? Poverty. Racism. Inadequate public transport. And winter.
