This is not a Black & White.. by julzmaioro

This is not a Black & White..

We have had a couple of day's of winter, This was the view from One Tree Hill/ Cornwall Park yesterday, and no I did not edit it to B&W this is a colour version, .. if you look real close you will see some autumn tree colour.. lets hope the sun returns soon.. The tall 'spark plug' looking building is Auckland tallest building the Sky Tower which has several restaurants , Hotels and Casino....
Great moody shot, Julia. The negative space of the grey sky nicely sets off the skyline despite the "fog"

That sky is just what it's like here. So much rain! My husband is borrowing his boss's 4WD to get home in since the flooded road is closed to all but trucks and 4WDs.

Yes was like that up here too. Though now blue skies, sun and birds singing away :)

Omg, I almost took the same pick from work, so grey!

@neakwagener Send it down here then Moniqui.. thanks for the comment @obmcreations Yes sounds pretty bad in places..
June 10th, 2014  
Great shot, pretty much the same weather down here so I know all about the lack of colour!
June 10th, 2014  
It certainly looks like you have faded the colour - a dismal day, but a well taken shot of Auckland.
June 10th, 2014  
Wow, must be tough breathing this air
June 10th, 2014  
Great cityscape capture despite the lackof colour. We can't expect perfect weather every day.

@trinda No this is not smog Trinda.. just misty rain moving in..
June 10th, 2014  
WOW...it does look like a b&w...very grey ad drab looking day. Very cool shot.
June 10th, 2014  
I Think if taken today it would be even more dismal, hope it clears for the field days for you tomorrow.
June 10th, 2014  
Great scene, looks like a gloomy day indeed
June 10th, 2014  
Very gloomy and dismal. A winters day!

My son is in Henderson and is loving the rain. He always has from a child. He hasn't experienced a flood yet like Christchurch so until then he is wrapped up warm out West

@andreajoy Good for him.. we are thinking twice about making the annual trip to the Field days tomorrow.. not so much fun in the rain..

@julzmaioro and MUD!!
June 10th, 2014  
I wouldn't have even had the heart to get out of bed on a dull day like that. But you captured a magnificent view here. Well done.
June 10th, 2014  
Oh, what a grey old day! It was a little dreary and cool here today too (not as cool as Auckland I'm sure). Great shot though :)
June 10th, 2014  
That is a gray day. Wow. Nice capture.
June 10th, 2014  
Gosh, what awful weather! Makes for a very moody shot - Lucy
June 10th, 2014  
Wow...not a b&w...that's cool! Sure is grey!
June 10th, 2014  
Lovely view of the Sky Tower....have stayed in the hotel underneath...exciting. A meal at the top going round was very thrilling so a fave for the memory Julz. My lot are looking forward to field days this week too.
June 10th, 2014  
It does look very gloomy and atmospheric, hope the sun comes out again soon.
June 10th, 2014  
Awesome shot
June 11th, 2014  
Looks much like that here too! Nice shot.
June 11th, 2014  
Great shot, very atmospheric. Looks like the sky we had a few days ago, the good thing about the southern hemisphere though that even in winter, it isn't winter every day and the sun is shining again.
June 12th, 2014  
Amazing shot. Glad you put in the tittle that it wasn't a b&w- it sure is a dreary grey day!!
