And the context in general.
These in August 2011 - not at all summer, warm clothes in the sun.

Kiwi Boy is cool!
Slightly piratical. Will be interesting to see how he weathers over time. He's much more interesting than the old Young Nick statue in Gisborne. They seem to be related though, as youthful lookout-keepers in jacket and breeches at their respective rivermouths - Kiwi Boy a cultural update.This is the best approximation to a photo of Young Nick as a statue that I've attempted, which is to say I've never really bothered, it's only the historic context that makes it interesting.

Yes, you may gather I'm rather fond of it :-)

Pukana against an afternoon blue sky
On a corner of the end-wall of Gisborne's unoccupied ex-police station, currently featuring poster prints of portraits of 48 local artists of varied sorts, for as long as the the weather allows?

Capture: Got the blues, in reply to David Hood,
Great to see the southern seas -
and an honorary blue sky, in recognition of the quasi-satellite image of the cyclonic storm system near the coast, perhaps the less distinct anticyclonic system further out to sea too, for its blueness? -
On the riverbank
this morning
before sunrise
a song for two voices,
bellbird,
under an aching sky
arching over the river.
And downstream at 7.10 am, exactly an hour later than this one of the trained duck on 11Jan, but still 10 minutes before sunrise at sea level. Must be a window in the high overcast out east for the sun to light the high overcast. No blue sky today. -
Through/under and past some of my significant trees – cabbage tree/ti kouka, with fallen walnut leaf suspended, and Metasequoia/dawn redwood – and over the neighbours’ roof edge, the moon was getting towards the other end of its passage across the sky in this morning’s dawn.
And through the walnut tree. There seems to be some attempted communication going on, even if only sat-comms?

easter silence
Easter being by definition at or just after the full moon after the (autumn) equinox, there's always a prominently bright moon, full or thereabouts - metaphorically noisy!
So I respond, musing on the messages the moon personified might be embodying and communicating, by image and symbol. But you knew that? -

I like this poser too
No solution for that poser.
But I like it too. Beautiful colour scheme and detail - spotty eyes matching its wings! -

along the Mount Cargill road
I know that view and road well - travelled it into OU and back 5-6 days a week for most of 1980, on a 3-speed bicycle. One day a little further on from your photopoint the local peasant farmer (with fences held together not so much with No. 8 wire but more bailer twine) accosted me with the greeting/query -
"You got any solution?"
I found it difficult to know where to start with such a question! After narrowing it down a bit, found he was looking for rubber 'solution' for puncture repairs. Of course.Solution for your problem, the grey carpark - if within the 15 minute editing window - you know the 'edit' button that comes up if you hover beside the Reply arrow of your own post? Click that and these days as well as being able to edit your text, it will show a thumbnail of the photo you just posted, and allow you to delete and replace it, or add another one. (And one more after that if you want too.)
Carpark relates to the longer loading time of big files - prevention rather than solution involves taking a little extra time to preview your text after loading the attachment, before posting. Big files with lots of detail in such photos - I like!
Totally incidentally, I think of Dunedin behind you there being around the upper part of the harbour, and Taiaroa Head under that far hill at the harbour entrance being as if the downstream outlet to the sea so that would be the lower harbour.
