Tumblr of the Day: Aucklandia

Sim Ahmed describes himself as “a twenty-something journalist living in Auckland, who one day found a camera in his hands where there was previously money and free time.” His blog, Aucklandia, is full of thoughtfully composed pictures, illustrations and wry ruminations on New Zealand’s largest city, its 1.5 million inhabitants, and the stories behind them. But it’s not just about Auckland: Some of Ahmed’s most beautiful shots capture the island nation’s photogenic countryside.
