Autumn in Rotorua, New Zealand

 
Sala Street Cemetery  
 
 This is my favourite angel in the Rotorua Sala Street cemetery
 
 I love this place in the Autumn.
 It is really beautiful with all the aging headstones, the moss, the lichen and the peace of the people's resting places.


Going with a friend taking photographs enhances the experience.  


It makes you feel like writing poetry and singing.

Te Puea Orchard. on the way to Whakatane, best braeburn apples in the world











These apples are so fresh and crunchy.
We go out at least three times in the Autumn to pick them.
 I eat around three or four apples a day and it's amazing how good they make you feel health wise.
Of course the act of picking them in this wonderful environment is very good for the soul

 
Rotorua Tree Trust above Waiariki, gorgeous display every year and a nice walk
This is near the entrance.



Keep on going into the park about 3 minutes up the road and near a gate with a stile you will see this relatively new planted walk.


The  new Japanese  maple walk is great. I hadn't been there before, Jing took me and introduced me to something special.





 
Horse chestnuts in the grounds of SCION


 
 
 The Rotorua lakefront walk is dotted with deciduous trees.
 

 


 
 If you make a habit of going down to the lakefront in the morning during all weathers you will see some fantastic sights of people interacting with the birds.
The autumn early morning light is gorgeous on Mokoia Island.
