Friday shoot out: Black and Orange


Auckland Town hall at night.

Most days in the busyness of rushing around, blogging and cooking dinner, I don't look out in the sky. This is one of the unusual days, and I was rewarded.

Sam doing puzzles in The Brisbane Science Centre. the woman on duty was very impressed with him.

Our Town hall has a renovated organ. They plan to have organ tours. This is a speciment of the organs.

Mt Albert Baptist Church hosted the Willow Creek Global Summit this weekend. I helped in getting the refreshment and I did the floral arrangement. The Birds of Paradise bloomed in the garden and were ready for the arrangement, together with some spring flowers, ivy, fern and pine leaves and cones.

Golden honey from a Golden bee, some kids get to play this giant bumble bee.

I am going to a Mexican party tonight.

Theme For October 1 - Colors Black and Orange
This theme is pretty self explanatory, just a reminder.

The Klais Pipe organ in Auckland Town Hall

If you sit in the Auckland Town Hall and look above the stage, you will see an imposing array of 82 shining pipes, with a complex control console in the centre.
Behind the façade of the Auckland Town Hall Organ is a very complex system of machinery which produces very beautiful musical sounds. The organ contains sets of pipes - over 5000 in total

Wow, your sky picture is very beautiful! In addition, I loved the floral arrangement you did with the Birds of Paradises. I really hope you have fun at the Mexican party tonight.

I love that sunset sky, so awesome! and that Mexican hat is really an attention grabber. Somehow the combination of these two colors are so strikingly beautiful.
