Colourful Scene

It has been a lovely sunny day.  I have enjoyed taking a few different photos today, like this one the best, as it is colourful, and depicts exactly what was happening at the jetty.  Extra 1 is of the bride.  I don't know why she is smiling, and it is very cold indeed.  I have done 8,888 steps, pleased with that.

Blip No. 1964

Year 1964.

Extra No. 2 is a photo that I took about that time of one of our trips to Mt Ruapehu in the North Island.  I love all those old cars!
