This weekend is Art Deco Weekend. I have just discovered that I have done 36 previous posts with this label. Anyway I shall plough on regardless of the fact that I may have told and shown you all this before. The Veronica Bell was given to the City of Napier after the HMS Veronica was decomissioned. I shall not repeat the story which you can read on my previous post: The Earthquake: The Role of HMS Veronica . However I shall post some new photos.

Wonderfully crisp photos, Graham and it looks to have been an enjoyable event. Would have liked hearing the bell :)
ReplyDeleteWHOA!! That camera!! It looks so complicated, so BIG. I can't wrap my mind around carrying around such equipment, but that would be why I am happy to be an amateur, I suppose...and happy that others aren't :)
Hi Graham, Thanks for visiting my blog.

Graham, if you put the date in the title it doesn't show ones lack of imagination.
