A Chilly Winters Morning..

The first touch of a frost this morning.. but it is worth a chilly start when you get a lovely day.. This is the view from our farm looking North East.. The smoke you can see is from the largest industry in town of the Steel Mill which is a large employer around the district.. nestled to the right in the small township of Waiuku and the City of Auckland is in the distant hills to the left of this photograph.. with the productive dairy farms in the foreground...

I think you showed me that view point, no? I remember the steel mills .. great view+great picture!

[julia]

Probably slightly different view.. the neighbour has chopped his tree's down @ricaa so this has opened our view up a lot more.. The Mill you can see from everywhere..
