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

This is the first photo (of three) of the Plimmer steps in downtown Wellington, taken from street level on Lambton Quay

the second photo zooms in on the sculpture of John Plimmer and his dog Fitz
and the third photo zooms in on the highrise buildings above

Highrise Wellington. 

The view from Lambton Quay towards the top of the Plimmer steps.

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

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.
