We did a couple walks on Evans Bay while staying at the Evans Bay Marina...
 |
Looking across the bay toward Miramar and famous windy Welly
sign |
 |
| Never very far from art deco |
 |
| One of the city's many private funiculars |
 |
| Another |
 |
| Built right into the hill |
 |
Remains of the Evans Bay Patent Slip; whereby
a ship could be pulled out of the water on a rail
to undergo repairs |
 |
The Evans Bay Marina campground was right under the Zephrometer,
one of several public mobile wind-related sculptures in the area; I've
posted pix of the Zephrometer in 2018 and possibly before |
 |
| Other such sculptures |
 |
| Wind is very big here |
 |
| Looking back from Miramar to the marina |
 |
| Us, there |
 |
It was February 12th, and the traffic coming into Wellington's
airport had already increased markedly...flights cancelled...getting
planes out of Auckland and other northern parts of the North
Island in advance of cyclone Gabrielle's hitting... |
 |
We also took our customary drive around the peninsula, especially to see the Cook Strait coast in advance of the storm...and whether the ferries were still running...(ominous foreshadowing music) |

Interesting Windy Welly sign. I think that the original Hollywood sign may be covered in snow this week.
