     This town was totally demolished in an earthquake in 1931. The entire town was built in the art decco style and I think (but I could be wrong) that it is the one town in the world that is art decco only where other towns already had most of their buildings and only a smattering of new ones built during the period.

       That’s fascinating – great city planning by politicians who worked together for the betterment of the community – now that’s a fresh idea. Where is this town?

       The town is in the North Island of New Zealand. Sorry I have taken so long to reply Sharon.

   An interesting statue. An even more interesting shadow. I don’t think I would have noticed if you hadn’t drawn my attention to it. Thanks.

     Writing I find has my attention drawn to people watching and listening that otherwise I would probably have ignored otherwise. Photography makes me notice detail that otherwise may be noted but would quickly be forgotten.
     Sorry Norah at how long it has taken me to respond.

       That’s okay. I have missed you. I hope everything is okay?
       It sounds like the combination of writing and photography increases your attention to what is around you.

       Yes because it makes you look at items outside the square, at the different angles and at the light. Even though in reality I am a point and shoot photographer I do take these things into account. One day, when I have more time I am going to devote a day a week or something to having a day by myself and photographing everything. Sounds like total bliss to me.
