Still Sketching

One of our recent meetings, the U3A Sketching Group sat at a window in Puke Ariki and all tried our hands at the view of Mt Taranaki over the city buildings:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Over last weekend we were in Auckland staying at my brother's house in Campbell's Bay. Here is the view of the skyline from his lounge window:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And we went to Lynmall one morning. While Margaret checked out the shops, I sketched one of the corners of the mall, and an elderly gentleman resting from his labours nearby. I didn't get the perspectives quite right, but the lines of the building didn't exactly help!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And on one of those wet mornings I got out our old photos and found the one of the Cathedral in Granada, taken from the Alhambra. This is where Ferdinand and Isabella are buried, the couple who sent Columbus to America:
