The Plimmer Steps commemorates local industrialist John Plimmer (1812–1905) who arrived at Wellington in 1841. There is a full-size bronze statue of Plimmer and his dog, Fritz, located where Plimmer Steps meets Lambton Quay. Postcard-style treatment.

I had come down to the foreshore in the hopes of getting some long exposures of the shoreline but the howling gale Wellington had yesterday blew my tripod over not once but twice (!), and I also got ever-so-slightly told off for trying to cross the railway line. So I made do with shots of Ngauranga station and trains. And I'm aware the song is about a bus; it's just the track that came to mind for this photo.

"I've got leather on my shoes,
And I've got a dream to live"
Photo #30,000 with this camera. Which considering how long I've had it is perhaps a lower figure than it should be. I've had these shoes about the same length of time; I'm not sure which is lasting better... (Chris de Burgh / Flying Colours / Leather On My Shoes)
