Something about this facade caught my eye...

Lazule  at 151 Cuba Street is home to some of New Zealand's biggest and diverse selection of Sterling Silver Jewellery.

A family owned and operated business by mother and daughter duo -Joan and Olivia Utting.

It was started by Olivia when she was 17 years old, and was located in the old Wakefield market in Wellington - then known as Hallelujah Jewellery. 

The Albemarle – Found just off the corner of Cuba, at 59 Ghuznee Street.

I’ve driven and walked past this grand old Edwardian building many times and often wondered about its history. Wonder no more… The 1905-vintage Albemarle Hotel is an unreinforced masonry building, soon to be earthquake strengthened and refurbished by Developer Ian Cassels. (That man deserves a medal). From a hotel to a brothel to a boarding house and used latterly as the Mayfair Gentlemen's Club, there is certainly some entertaining history.

small, old building amongst the new in downtown Wellington 

there was just something about this old building that caught my eye as it and it's history seemed jammed in between the progress of a growing city

Having driven into the city to collect my mail, this is an early morning view of downtown Wellington on Customhouse Quay

This is a view of Bolton street, Wellington after leaving the Botanic Gardens from the rose garden side.

The bridge in the foreground is one of many that cross over the central city motorway.

At the bottom of Bolton street it joins The Terrace.

Where once there were more than 10 000 acres of sky to view, the developments of a growing city now shows part of the new Inland Revenue Department (IRD) building

Lambton Quay is the heart of Wellington city's business district in the "coolest little Capital city in the world".

Lambton quay is where you would take the famous Wellington cable car up to the Botanic Gardens

The new Supreme Court building was built beside and expanded into the old High court building on Molesworth street.
Prince William formally opened this building on 18 January 2010

I was on a car park rooftop at The Terrace, looking down on Lambton Quay when the colours of these neon art windows caught my eye.

This is a ten-panel neon 'sculpture' by Paul Hartigan entitled, "Whipping the Wind". You'll find it on the corner of Ballance Street where it meets Lambton Quay. Part of the Supreme Court building can be seen just to the left of this pic.
