It’s the end of the last week of 2006, so Image of the Week is a day early (I usually post on a Monday). In fact this photo is my pick for IOTY (Image of the Year), because it reflects that fact the we spent a good part of 2006 working towards obtaining this view! Project Koru brought us to the Windy City—as Wellington is affectionately known—and will see us residing here until September 2007. We love waterfront strolls and the great food on offer, and look forward to furthering our acquaintance with the City in 2007. In this picture the beach at Oriental Bay is in the foreground, and the national museum Te Papa sits in the corner between The Lagoon/ Civic Centre and Chaffers Marina. We live just out-of-frame to the left.
