Our afternoon's exploration of Palmerston North continued, looking for art deco buildings and such other curiosities as might amuse...
 |
Interestingly, Palmerston North has the national museum of the
national sport, rugby; not interestingly enough, however, for us
to go in, steeped as we are in the American national sport of passball |
 |
You've got to love a town where the national rugby museum faces
the Theosophical Hall across the street |
 |
| Lots of Deco Echo around; gratifyingly |
 |
The city's art center, a real beauty; if you ignore
the garish paint job... |
 |
| Our sentiments, too |
 |
The city government building, sort of neo eclectic revival...
almost brutalist on one side... |
 |
| But interesting on another |
 |
| Les toilettes |
 |
| Now in the old downtown |
 |
| Beautiful old theater; still a theater too |
 |
| Peeking into the lobby |
 |
Not the concentration of art deco of Whanganui,
but impressive nonetheless |

Blue skies in your latest photos. Have the monsoon rains departed?
Monsoon, yes. Right now we are in Welly, awaiting cyclone Gabrielle and it effects, which could include cancellation of our ferry to South Island tomorrow.
Oh, my! Wes was reading about the cyclone just last night. Here's hoping it won't cancel your ferry trip.
