A couple of people relax on a piece of grass that lies between older buildings to the left, and new construction to the right, near Tyler Street. This whole area, that once contained a character-filled art deco bus terminal and surrounding curio shops, is being brutally torn to pieces in an attempt to “modernise” the city. Nearby, a 26 level tower has just been proposed by developers behind the historic Rose and Crown Tavern. A large sign on the front of the small building near the centre of the picture encourages prospective purchasers/developers to build a high rise building that will dwarf those on either side of it.

The bottom is an active carpark but above the first floor looks more like it belongs in war torn Beirut.

Queen street in the early hours of new year’s day, the only evidence of bad behaviour I found. For Auckland it was a relatively quiet night for the police.
