New Plymouth by graemestevens

New Plymouth

Some of the locals call this a city but really it's just a town...delusions of grandeur are rife and redneckery abounds, as is usually the case in any small town that is not on the commonly travelled highways.
Having said that, it is home and it is where the lovely Mrs S is, so I am also.
And yes, it did absolutely persist down the entire time that we were moving house.
And a lovely 'Town' it is to .. like your grungy look of NP .. nice shot and edit..

great capture of those amazing clouds and storm - pain that it persisted down while you moved. Hope you settle in well in your new home

My favourite part is the front right hand corner, with all the tones and textures of the stones and branches.

I like small cities, my problem is that my small city keeps getting bigger. Maybe a teensy-weensy nuke or something?
