	Train enters Britomart © & (M) LGD 2009. A train enters the Auckland CBD train station. The station is located under the site of the 1885 train station (which was tucked away behind the post office and random warehouses and other buildings). Some idiotic rule meant that I couldn't use a tripod inside. I used a 1/5 second exposure for this shot. This photo is Public Uploaded on Oct. 25, 2009
	Train station skylight © & (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
	Row of conical skylights © & (M) LGD 2009. The conical skylights are meant to be representative of the fact the Auckland is built on an active field of 48 (or was it 42?) volcanoes. There are only about a dozen skylights though. This photo is Public Uploaded on Oct. 25, 2009
	The old Chief Post Office aka New Train Station (morning) © & (M) LGD 2009. The Chief Post Office was built in 1912. It obscured restricted access to 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 was re-opened, but as the entrance to an underground train station.
