Out for a ride one Saturday, we saw a train come alongside the road. So....
we raced drove ahead to get a photo as it crossed the bridge.
Hubby finds the best little churches for me to shoot. This one is
Te Mangungu Church Anglican
on Turakina Beach Road.
A local rose grower, Matthews Roses, has planted a rose garden with picnic areas
along the roadside just south of Whanganui, cut into a corn field.

ReplyDeleteLove that abandoned building! Nice capture of the train too... the 'ribbon' colours vary to some degree according to where you are. Yellow is worn in QLD to support the rural fire service, but elsewhere is for awareness of endometriosis. The blue ribbon in other places is to support freedom of speech and in Canada is in support of non-smoking. I love that this farmer is 'shouting' out!!! YAM xx
Great mix of photos. It was a delight seeing them.
ReplyDeleteI like the once a month service, a circuit preacher was common here in the 1800's
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, I see you like trains, too. I seldom get pics of them but I always want to!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of rose gardens along the road...
I really enjoyed this.
wonder where it was going? to Auckland maybe or Wellington?
ReplyDeleteLove the old building. Hubby saw an ad for a fun rail trip in Whanganui he wants to go. It is where you hire a golf buggy and drive it on the rail tracks They have been modified. Have you heard of them?
ReplyDeleteI love all the little churches you found and the old buildings. Great idea to have the coloured bales for charities. Have a great well ahead.
ReplyDeleteWow, the bales are awesome that they do that. Love the rustic house/shed. All the photos look great.
ReplyDeleteThose small churches are a delight!
