More Wellington Pictures

NZ in general is fairly environmentally conscious. One of the ways that Wellington picks up on this value is by having a nice series of nature preserves and hiking trails that more or less ring the city. Imagine that Griffith Park circled LA, or Forest Park wrapped around all of Portland (Central Park around Manhattan, etc.), breaking here and there for some spots for roads and housing to funnel through. This weekend, my friends Diana, Jesse, and I did a couple-mile section of the City-to-Sea walkway, which is part of this green-belt. Here are some pictures (once again, the South Island is what you're seeing in the distance).
