Evans Bay, Wellington - Cam Theme - 9

Evans Bay is an inlet between Mt Victoria and the Miramar Peninsula that serves as a flight path to the low-lying Wellington Airport runway.
Apparently in earlier times there were seaplanes which docked nearby, but I can't find any confirmed info on it. Suffice to say, it is one of many 'Bay Suburbs' that dot the Wellington Harbour.
Our walks around Oriental Bay now extend past Point Jemingham to Little Karaka Bay - which are all on the way to Evans Bay.

Oh, and have I already mentioned the wonderful blue skies and calm waters of the photos in this week's CAM?

The northern tip of the runway to Wellington airport can be seen on top of the green embankment right to middle of the photo.

Rusty boat, Evans Bay, Wellington, New Zealand... Another pic 'begging' to be photographed - especially in the reflective morning light. The rusty ochre colour reminds me of an art canvas primed and ready for painting...

Evans Bay- purple boatshed. Wellington, New Zealand... Something about this begged to be photographed. The people inside must be used to it, as they continued with their drum practice after I smiled and carried on taking pics...
