Sculpture "Albatros" Wellington

1985-6 Tanja Ashken

Dedication

On an early winters morning, on the Wellington waterfront, with storm clouds approaching the rowing club is open and the boys are starting the day with a training session. You have to admire the dedication of our rowers in such freezing conditions. Success comes from hard work and commitment.

Civic Center Wellington at 7am on a dull morning before the crowds arrive.
Love the boldness of this building.

At Last

Thomas played well, got some goals and won player of the day. 
He got to keep the crystal (read plastic) medal for the week but the big moment was the presentation of a free sausage! Now that's the way to a boys heart.....
