Teleview

There are a few puzzling features about this Pentax 500mm telephoto picture taken from the hills between Fox Street and Waiteata Park. It looks across suburban houses in Whataupoko and down Grey Street to Waikanae Beach. But why the band of compressed humanity, there in the middle? You guessed it...the picture was taken at 10.23 o'clock on the Saturday morning of the Lions' Island Market Day.

Why 10.23 o'clock, with such certainty? Take another look. A closer one.
