A daily photo from Ōtautahi, Christchurch, New Zealand
In Cathedral Square there is a giant chessboard and most Sundays you’ll see people playing a game of chess – usually with a small crowd watching the game. The pieces used to be black and white – take a look at this old post of another game I photographed a few months back.
I haven’t played chess in along time. Nice capture.
