Utility boxes

One afternoon last week I found myself in Parnell, walking on one of the very first streets we walked on when we got to New Zealand seven years ago.

I was blown away by the painted utility boxes back then… something I’d never really seen before. Now, they’ve become a common sight that I don’t even think about. There are a lot of them, often painted by community groups, and many aren’t even that well done.

But here’s a good one. If the apartment building weren’t there, it’s more or less a representation of what you would see… that impressive structure is the Auckland War Memorial Museum, which sits on that hill which is just about there. I haven’t actually seen a Cheshire Cat in those trees, but who knows?
