The Cloud, an event venue on Queen's Wharf, Auckland, was originally built for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Its construction was, reportedly, controversial and, although striking, I am not sure that I actually like it. It seemed underutilised (it is/was intended to be temporary) and it is rather annoyingly lit at night. 200_2_P1030419C

The Cloud is a harbourfront event venue in Auckland seen here with a backdrop of the city's skyline and its distinctive and architecturally pleasing Ferry Building. 200_2_P1030383C

Before we went to New Zealand, I did not know what to expect and wondered whether our four day stay in Auckland - primarily to adjust to the time difference - would be worthwhile. It was. Auckland is a lively and attractive city and we enjoyed every minute. This view features three distinctive buildings, the Ferry Building (centre), The Cloud (foreground, right) and Sky Tower. 200_2_P1030385C
