Auckland Sky Tower can be seen from all angles of the city. Here it is peeking from the Auckland Public Hospital seen at the Auckland Domain.

That domed building is the Winter garden. In deed there were pools inside.

    What a lovely picture, I also notice the wide expanse of short grass that is so very green. So that is a hospital in the foreground? It looks kind of small for a hospital.

    This is really adorable!
    And I also LOVED your Reflection post, you are so creative with your camera, lovely light!

    hugs and a nice week!
