During on one weekend mid Late August 2017, One  wintery Weekend Auckland  heading to  get warmer as it headed towards the Spring season as the daylight seemingly getting warmer and longer.. Also wishing that there was no daylight savings for the summery season… As the weekend warmingly with the ample amount of daylight spreading….

wide View of Mission bay..

There’s one place in Auckland urban, in which is Mission bay, a urban beach line in which you could attend to after work, the weekend in which to escape from work, of the daily chores of home.. Mission bay sits midway along the Tamaki Drive Auckland, with a wide range of local amenities, as to a cosy neighbourhood of cafes, restaurants…  The Beach lies in the Auckland Waitemata Harbour, in which Mission bay has some key historical landmarks, Bastion Point, Trevor Moss Davis Memorial Fountain, with a neighbourhood Gallery…

one of the greatest urban escapes in Auckland is Mission Bay.. away from the office…. with Rangitoto Island in view..

Among that it has some interesting rock formations into when Auckland’s Volcanic past with as you walk north wise of the beach you can see un sandy buried the frozen lava formations layering like a molten Scoria rock toffee formation… also in the distance is the Rangitoto Island once of Auckland’s Volcanic past in which it lies dormant for a while in the Hauraki Gulf. Rangitoto Island name means Bloody Sky, as it was formed over the period of six thousand years that gate crashed Motutapu Island….

Around Auckland during in that day of 13th  or 14th December it was a stormy day it was raining throughout the whole day, when looking at the weather through the day from One Tree Hill later in the evening and the season wise, it looks like Auckland had completely gone back to its early spring…

Arriving at Mission Bay in which a Tamaki drive away from the Central Business district Auckland… a Urban Beach, that it’s great and ideal place after working weekend or weekday to have a great swim to relax after work, instead of heading off to the local pools…

As there, it was stormy on that rained out, waves crashing on the wet out sandy beach… The sand winded out blown… in the distance was a crowed of brave children braving playing in the cold waters, with their accompany adult.. Watching the shore line, there racing ahead, chopping away to Waiheke Island, a Fullers ferry racing in full throttle ….

Auckland was foggy extremely on 22nd July 2013. In the morning from where I was you couldn’t see pass the least than one hundred meters. But when the sun came out in later in the later mornings it became slight clearer, burning of the fog.  Traveling also seeing in between the central part of Auckland, the fog still lingers around in the Manukau Harbour.

“Mission bay beach fogged out, plus don’t go swimming the fog, it’s like don’t blink in front of a weeping angel..”

Almost roughly Teen-ish in the morning mostly Mission bay was fog out in the Waitemata harbour, in which was unsafe to swim out, as you could barely see the Rangitoto Island.” Oh you could see my hiking boots marks imprinted on the wintery sandy beach surface.”

“Devonport, one of Royal New Zealand Navy frigate with following escorts in the tow”

Moving travelling to Takapuna to Devonport you could see the fog lingering around as in makes out a real life horror movie on the go, as seeing the ships disappear into also out to the fog, like if the Black Pearl has drop harbour and still cursed with the valiant crew of Captain Jack Sparrow.  In the distance looking into back on the Auckland Central business District you could see the Naval vessels making its way into the challenge its skills of going and nagvigating into afternoon harbour fog.

Up close with Craters.

Have you ever wonder what the moon would look up a little closer.  Seeing all those marking dark and lighted, during the full Moon, and hopefully not expecting Lycians, werewolf or of course Team Jacob to appear.  Wether that the face of the moon that you’re looking at or making out looking to see if there’s an image of the Easter rabbit  giving away easter eggs.   The moon have been around (about 4.5 billion years ) with us for very long time since the creation of the second Earth that were living on after the collision off two major almost Earth size Planets one called Terra Firma (and the other which I couldn’t put a name on it), then later forming  Earth a much crack one,  aswell the formation of  moon too, but less cracked.

Earth is ever so explain of having earthquakes, silent temper volcanos,  which the collision many so Billion years ago it’s left it quite  pathological plate tectonic crack.  Unlike its warring Brother Mars, is ever constantly building up Volcanos  mountains, like  mounting more armies mount Everest High than it’s Sister Earth having been so left pathological it creates beautifully green,  life for the family could see.

When we think of craters we think of the Moon, which is littered with thousands of them. Craters are dominant impact depression ( natured, man-made ) they come in all sort of sizes. They are made due to the impacts of asteroids or comets that come in the direct path of the Moon.  Once they impacted it forms a crater, a depression, then follow by the remnants of the impacts have impacted slowly again due to the moon’s gravity, much to the same case as  making smaller ones in the process.

One natural defense that Earth can avoid or try to avoid of being struck by an asteroids or comets is the outer gaseous planets in the Sol system. Jupiter, Saturn provide the best cover protection  for this planet. Given to that the two largest ones, Jupiter, Saturn  gravity  them into the  path of  the massive planets, due to the nature of the large gravity excursion of the two it performs.

On Earth we also are littered with them, they range in different sizes, and variants of them.  Many of the variants ranges from Volcanos, to ancient doomsday craters. The ones on Earth are well more hidden due to the  natural elemental erosion of by wind, weathering through time.  Some are hidden cratered on the ocean floors, and some are exposed in the barren field like the ones on Earth. On Earth they are discovered using various means by surveying equipment from  satellites, to taking soil samples which determine its scienitific orgins.

So the next time you decide to trek around Earth you might be in surprise when you see a large depression in the ground……….
