Christmas Holiday in Wanganui - Virginia Lake at night # 2

Here's the second set from my nocturnal visit to Virginia Lake in Wanganui - this time a few of the fountain.

Christmas Holiday in Wanganui - Virginia Lake at night

Most of the Christmas break this year consisted of a trip to Wanganui to visit family. While there, we went out to Virginia Lake to see what the Council has done with lighting some of the trees and the fountain in the middle of the lake. This first post consists of some of the photos of the tree lighting, the next post will have photos of the fountain.

Enjoy!

Christmas Holiday in Whanganui: post 2

After the visit to the Durie Hill Tower, another "must" is Virginia Lake. Virginia Lake used to be the main water supply for Whanganui [many years ago], but nowadays is a renowned small lake with ducks, geese, pukekos and various other wildlife present, as well as an aviary, gardens and more. The ducks and geese all look healthy - I'm not sure that my comments of "that would be nice for dinner tonight" were appreciated though... :-)

The following pictures are from around the lake, and then some of the birds in residence. Most of the birds were really friendly, and happy to pose for a photo or two!
