A goal for the Phoenix
This afternoon the Wellington Phoenix defeated Sydney Football Club at the Westpac Stadium, winning by a two goal margin 4-2.
The sun shone, the game went our way and the crowd was ecstatic.
I snapped these guys earlier on in the game, just after the Phoenix had scored their first goal.
It fits well with my personal challenge of capturing eyes, smiles and laughter. There was plenty of that today.
What's it all about ....
Photographed last night at the Westpac Stadium before the Rugby World Cup 2011 game between South Africa and Fiji. I love her beautiful clear skin and enquiring eyes.
Her eyes were on the big screen.
Like most fans in our immediate vicinity, she was supporting Fiji! Unfortunately they came second …
New Zealander taking the game very seriously
Photographed tonight at the Rugby World Cup 2011 match between Australia and Fiji at the Wellington (Westpac) Stadium. this man was sitting a few along from me and every time I looked in his direction his gaze was intense. At times he had his chin cupped in his tatooed hand; otherwise he stared straight ahead with the same expression.
It’s good to be a New Zealander right now … we have a lot to be proud of for such a small country. With another eight weeks of competition ahead, we’re in for an exciting time.
Dearest to my heart at each game is the superb singing of the 20 national anthems – sung by choral groups from around the country and accompanied by our very own New Zealand Symphony Orchestra (NZSO). The orchestration is beautiful, the singing superb. Considerable effort has gone in to performing each anthem to the highest standard.
Tonight’s game was won by Australia 49-3.
He makes me smile on this cold and blustery day ...
One happy and colourful fella!
