Auckland Town Hall

Auckland Art Festival is in progress at the moment and there was a festive atmosphere in Aotea Square this afternoon. The town hall stands amongst a collection of newer high-rise buildings and various pop-up installations of the festival. I sat with my back to a wall to sketch but still attracted a few curious passers-by! A talented group of musicians was performing a medley of comic operatic pieces and other musical snippets and it was nice to have this accompaniment as I sketched.
