Cornwall Park

Today I went to Cornwall Park, which is a lovely park in the central suburban Auckland. I went to take some nice photos of my figures, so Saber, Signum and I made our way over to the park, which is up the road from me!







Here is a picture of the sign at the entrance near me,  Grand Drive.



   



Here is Saber waiting patiently for me to take the photo.



 



Here is a photo of Signum pretending to hold up the One Tree Hill monument. Yes I know there is no tree on that hill, well some protesters ages ago tried to cut the tree down, complaining that it wasn't a native tree or something like that, anyways for ages they tried to support the tree and get it to stabilize itself, they used poles and ropes and all sorts, but it just didn't work and the tree was dying so they had to cut it down. It was so sad the tree had been there as long as I've been in New Zealand, the tree was much loved!






A little later on in the day Saber and Signum had an argument, and well it got out of hand...






Signum and Saber ready to strike, who will make the first move.






Oh dear it looks like Saber is the loser. Okay that's enough Signum, now behave!






Saber contemplating the splendor and beauty of the outdoors.


The rest of the photo shoot can be seen at my Deviant Art gallery here: http://www.optimisticpenguin101.devaintart.com/

Always amazed by the weather in NZ. What's the temperature there now?

Um keeps changing, spring is a bit random, yesterday I think it would have been perhaps nearing 20c was nice and warm, to day its a bit cooler.

Very nice pics. I can't wait to try this when my Signum arrives. Hopefully I can find some similar hills down here in Welly >.o

Yeah!!! a fellow NZ collector :D

That would be great, Wellington is soo lovely, you could take some great pix even around the city, the city centre of Wellington is so much nicer to the eye than Auckland CBD :P

Perhaps next time I down that ways I will take a figure or two!

So how long you been collecting figures?
