Lovely inversion layer over Lyall Bay in Wellington on Tuesday the 31st Oct. Was one of those very rare almost dead-calm Wellington evenings! Photo taken looking West over the airport towards Lyall Bay at about 720pm.

Not sure to be honest. Up close it just looked a bit muddy/silty, but from above it kinda has a milky green look.

Back in June it was extremely muddy/silty: viewtopic.php?p=211438#p211438

And I love this time of year as I can get silhouettes of my MetalBirds I have placed in the large (annoying*) sycamore tree in the reserve outside my property.

Hunua falls flowing nicely today after the recent rainfall

Went for a walk today along the banks of the Waihi River, which flows through Geraldine.
They have done some improvements to the river through the town as to prevent erosion and flooding in future heavy rain events.
