The old Chief Post Office aka New Train Station (evening)	"I ♥ Boobs!"
© & (M) LGD 2009. The Chief Post Office was built in 1912. It obscured and made difficult to access the old train station. The train station moved out of the CBD and was replaced by a bus terminal and then a carpark. In 2003 the CPO now converted into the entrance to an underground train station was opened.

Cultural event	The Dilworth Building one Morning	Bus sheter, and tiered seating
This photograph © & (M) "Lctrc-Gtr-Dde" 2008 The annual 'Boobs on Bikes' parade is quite popular among Aucklanders, despite the new mayor attempting to prevent it. I overheard one bloke tell his pommie mate that this was one of our 'cultural events'. Well I suppose it is, although perhaps it would be nicer if it was boobs for boobs' sake as opposed to boobs for porn's sake. If you like my photography, please give me cred! This photo is Public Uploaded on Aug. 20, 2008	© & (M) LGD 2009. The Dilworth Building in the Auckland CBD housed (supposedly) the secret headquarters for the WWII Solomon Islands campaign. This photo is Public Uploaded on Oct. 25, 2009	This photograph © & (M) "Lctrc-Gtr-Dde" 2008 Bus shelters, rubbish bins, benches, letterboxes, and of course roofs, windows and baloneys were prime locations for a view.

Boobs on Tanks I	1st January 2009 Sun	Colourful in drag
This photograph © & (M) "Lctrc-Gtr-Dde" 2008 The parade may be called 'Boobs on Bikes' but this lady and others were riding atop vintage tanks. I couldn't get a decent shot of the tanks due to cops and crowds and the fear of being rolled over... If you like my photography, please give me cred! This photo is Public Uploaded on Aug. 20, 2008	This photograph © & (M) "Lctrc-Gtr-Dde" 2008 There was heavy cloud cover along the horizon on the 1st of January 2009 - this is when the sun finally showed itself. The photo was taken from Maungawhau Mount Eden (one of the many old volcanoes in the area). If you like my photography, please give me cred! This photo is Public Uploaded on Jan. 3, 2009	This photograph © & (M) "Lctrc-Gtr-Dde" 2008 The drag queens got the biggest cheers, despite being more clothed than their female colleagues.

Ah the lure of the naked breast...	"Lamb of God"	Strand Arcade interior
This photograph © & (M) "Lctrc-Gtr-Dde" 2008 Queen street was full of men, women, and indeed a few (accompanied and unaccompanied) children of all extractions. Mostly men unsurprisingly. If you like my photography, please give me cred! This photo is Public Uploaded on Aug. 20, 2008	© & (M) LGD 2009. I don't know this band (I presume it's a band) but I liked the poster, especially with the branches crossing over. This photo is Public Uploaded on Sept. 23, 2009	© & (M) LGD 2009. The Strand Arcade was built in 1900 and rebuilt in 1910 after a fire. It was Auckland's second shopping arcade. This photo is Public Uploaded on Oct. 25, 2009
Train station skylight	Civic Theatre facade detail	"JUSTBS"
© & (M) LGD 2009. The Auckland train station. This skylight is also a water feature above ground level. Rail in Auckland is pretty poor, but bringing the station back into the CBD was a big improvement. Some idiotic rule meant that I couldn't use a tripod inside. I used a 1 second exposure for this shot. This photo is Public Uploaded on Oct. 25, 2009	© & (M) LGD 2009. The Civic was a grand picture theatre, since adapted to stage presentations as well. Built on the site of a rubbish dump, it was considered the finest theatre in the Dominion. It was also home to a fancy cabaret club with erotic dancers. Clip from a 1988 documentary (The building has since been restored to its former opulence.) This photo is Public Uploaded on Oct. 25, 2009	This photograph © & (M) "Lctrc-Gtr-Dde" 2008 It wasn't all about boobs. There were a few men and some drag queens as well.
