Photo(s) of the Week: Lightpath

Bruce Copeland

Since opening just over a year ago, Lightpath has inspired cyclists… and photographers. Something about it just calls out to be captured. Here are some beautiful images from Bike Auckland supporter, Mike Borich.

We’ve paired them with lines from this fun piece Jolisa Gracewood wrote for Architecture Now magazine back in March…

“Pink is flamboyant, fruity, a saucy kiss blown by K’ Rd; lipstick on the collar of Auckland’s business shirt. It’s frankly sexy – but also rich and sweet, the colour of the icing on your nana’s Belgian biscuits.”

“The sugary texture of the surface helps cement the fairy-tale vibe: Willy Wonka wishes he’d thought of a rose-coloured marzipan promenade.”

“Colour levitates the path from function to icon.”

“Pink pops. It shares the limelight by acting as a highlight.”

“An urban folly – decorative, extravagant, built for pleasure and delight.”

“As a simple jury-rigged link for bikes, this addition to Auckland would have been invisible except to those who used it.”

“But with a coat of sparkly paint, it’s a destination as well as a thoroughfare.”
