Good morning from a cool windy Hastings day. We have just had a glorious sunrise – which I have already posted on my Facebook page – under my maiden name – Raewyn Duff.
Today I have my social snappers group. I am hoping to go to Frimley Rose Garden – I am not sure how successful it will be if the wind is too strong. So it will be interesting. We could always walk around the Women’s Centre. There are a lot of Maori statues there which I haven’t taken photos off. Or there is this gentleman.
Which brings me onto Cee’s challenge at Cee’s Photography. Her Black & White challenge is an open topic. So this distinguished looking gentleman is actually Sir Andrew Russell. I have included a Wikipedia page for more information about him. This is a new statue and was unveiled at our ANZAC day parade this year to celebrate the centenary of the Gallipoli campaign.
I haven’t got time to go through my reader as I have to go soon. So catch you all later.

He really suits black and white and hard to believe he is a new statue.

Have fun at the rose gardens. I’m planning on going to one of our smaller ones on Monday, if nothing else comes up first. 🙂 Wonderful statue and works so well in black and white.
