NZ Pictorial

Auckland truly is a city where you can celebrate summer in so many different ways. As a visitor or a local, you'll never be far from the sparkling and refreshing waters of either the Waitemata Harbour on the Pacific Ocean to the east of the city or the Manukau Harbour on the Tasman Sea to the south-west. Photographer Derek Watts has captured a variety of activities and special places in this vibrant city - everything from fun at the beach through to summer markets and festivals and, of course, Auckland's much-loved annual yachting regatta. Packed with nearly 70 glorious colour photographs that encapsulate the essence of Auckland, many of them double-page spreads, Summer in the City makes an ideal souvenir or gift.
