I’ve just started a new job which has sucked out all of my time, so I was running late trying to dream up a post for this week. Fortunately the answer was just outside the window, so to speak. I’ve mentioned before that I live in Highbury, a suburb high on a hill in the west of the city that overlooks the city and Wellington Harbour. Autumn has arrived with a vengeance and the weather delivered straight from Antarctica that I’ve come to regard with… come to regard as being typical of New Zealand. But I’ve also been up early and taking lots of photographs lately of the spectacular dawn skies over Wellington. So without further ado; enjoy an early Skywatch Friday!

Some days the sun only favours the eastern side of the harbour.
Some days Wellington Harbour is bathed in gold.
Some days the clouds are neither long nor white.
A little later that day
Clouds both high and low
Looking a bit to the south for a change, to where the harbour entrance is hidden by low cloud.
First light
The evening light, for a change!
Of course, there are days like today as well!
I loved the clouds in New Zealand, they were ever changing and lovely!
We stayed once in a little cottage in Eastbourne with a bathtub in the front yard and loved the views of Wellington. This brought it all back! Although our seasons are reversed, these photos don’t look much different from my views here on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Good luck with the new job!
Great series, great pics! What a view you have, I am jealous.
Good Luck with the new job! I once met an elderly man on the beach here in winter and it was 30c and he said he came from Wellington. He said it was the warmest city in NZ so he moved there, but was NOT what he thought of as warm in winter-hence the trip to Broome! Great photos!
