Typical work day desk still life 2014

Morning 'long black' coffee from The J Walk Cafe, date and almond mix, Knog bicycle lights to recharge, and my favourite (70s bathroom green) pacer pencil. Typical morning for early 2014.

One of many great examples of retro architecture in Auckland.

Geometric green.

Incredible timber work on the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki.
