[196/365] Surrender Night Club, Encore, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Wow, what a beautiful club. I’ve been here during the day for Encore Beach and it was nice, but at night, the mixture of water and lights makes it even better. Oh, and it’s pretty fun too!
[195/365] Light Drawings, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Light drawing of hearts in Melbourne! These lights are from the buildings across the water (see previous photo to get an idea of where the lights came from).
[194/365] Waterfront City, Melbourne Docklands, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
We took the last trolley going around the city centre, which took a slightly different route than I expected. We ended up getting off here and walking around. It was really cold, but there were great views of the city over the water.
[193/365] "Maxims of Behaviour", Royal Mail House, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
A kinetic light show by Alexander Knox, “Maxims of Behaviour” is on the canvas of the building called the Royal Mail House. Throughout winter months, the show goes on with constantly changing patterns in vibrant colors to mimic the heart and life of the city of Melbourne. We passed this as we were walking down […]
[192/365] Melbourne Ad, Melbourne Airport, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

[190/365] View from Chifley Suites, Auckland, New Zealand
We were lucky to find a great deal on a hotel in Auckland. The room I was in was on the very top floor, and from the bed, views of downtown Auckland could be seen. It was a suite, with all kinds of amenities, even including a washer/dryer in the room! From the balcony, I […]
[189/365] Rangitoto Island, New Zealand
Rangitoto Island is about 30 minutes from downtown Auckland and is a recently formed volcanic island. By recently formed, I mean that it is between 600 and 700 years old. We were dropped off by the ferry to a seemingly deserted island where we hiked to the top of the mountain, passing lava fields and […]
[188/365] Top of Mount Victoria, Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand
At Devonport, we did a short hike up to the top of Mount Victoria. 360 degree views of the surrounding areas could be seen from up there. Across the water is Rangitoto Island, a volcano that we hiked to the top of the very next day. The weather in New Zealand was chilly and rainy, […]
