And the Winner Is...

We grow great by dreams.  All big men are dreamers.
They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening.
Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days
till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who hope that their dreams will come true.

Wellington from our back deck - late spring about 7:30pm

Mid-summer - about 7pm

Mid-winter - about 5pm

The top picture is my favourite because the water was still enough to reflect the lights of Wellington.  Even people from Auckland would have to admit, I think, that Wellington is a lovely city.  

I was born in Dallas, Texas and lived there for almost 30 years.  If you've ever been to Dallas, perhaps you'd agree with me that its practically the antithesis of Wellington - Dallas sits in the middle of a flat plain hundreds of miles from the ocean.  Beautiful sunsets are rare and nobody there knows or cares the slightest about rugby.  (Unfortunately, I have a confession - neither do I, really.)

Comments: Thanks for the wonderful awe-inspiring sunsets of Wellington.  They brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye, as I won't be seeing them for real for another 7 months.  I dearly love that city - not just because my sons live there - but it truly reflects all that is good in NZ and the skies are quite awesome - be they stormy, calm, sunrise or sunsets.

Thanks again.
