Day 47: Cafe View

I sometimes meet a friend in Browns Bay and we usually go to a local cafe on the waterfront and have a coffee and a chat either outside or, if it is warm and dry enough, inside by the window. The view from the cafe out over the harbour to Rangitoto Island is to die for.

The view is constantly changing. Depending on the day, the wind is either a gentle or harsh master of the environment. The winds and clouds are either being whipped along or gently roll on. People and boats inhabit the scene, moving in intricate patterns on the sea, sand and foreshore. I never get tired of watching the view. I find it soothing.
