The long spell of unbroken summer weather continues on here and earlier in the week I went for a walk along the Inlet on the Camborne Walkway.
I began my walk with this view ahead of me.
The boatsheds are a colourful and eclectic group of buildings. Each has a different character which makes it a very interesting place to wander by.
And between each boatshed is a glimpse of the stunning Inlet on a stunning day.
There are creative additions on almost all the sheds.
A finial to keep away any witches that might be lurking.
Colours to surprise you and which match the heat of the day.
Nautical settings with summer flowers.
And all the time the slap, lap, slap, lap of the water beneath the sheds and around the posts.
This dachsund does not usually swim but this morning he was happy to stand, tummy deep in the warm water
As we both looked out over the view

What a wonderful collection of waterside buildings. They really evoke summer.
The Inlet has quite a few very interesting waterside buildings. We are having a glorious summer but we do need some rain.
I could have joined the dachshund without any trouble. The water and the view and the boatsheds look wonderful. And no graffiti in sight? Some of the boatsheds seem to be more bach than boatshed.
His owner was very surprised to see him paddle but it was hot and the water was very inviting! People used to live in these boatsheds but new by-laws prevent permanent occupation. There are always people “living” in them on weekends and holidays. They are all kept in good condition. I think Sam Hunt, the poet lived in one on the Inlet a long time ago:-)
Those boatsheds are so well loved – a pleasure to see. Thank you, Lynley.
They are in good condition Juliet and each one is delightfully unique. Many have interesting gardens too. It is a very, very popular walkway.
Beautiful pictures of your beautiful country New Zealand.
I would like to be there.
Thank you Diana. I am very fortunate to live here.
Lovely photos that remind me how fascinating Wellington can be. That’s it! I’m coming down soon…
This endless summer weather is surely showing Wellington off at its very best.
