A daily photo from Ōtautahi, Christchurch, New Zealand
The Chalice is the sculpture in the foreground. I’m not sure what the sculpture n the background is called. I took this shot from the top of the Farmers parking building, and have never seen the two sculptures positioned like this. The chalice now makes more sense.
Wonderful sculptures – I wish we had more sculptures in my city!

It had never occurred to me that they could be lined up like that, either. I think the Chalice was there first although I could be wrong on that.

A whole new view of it Michele! It does make more sense and looks great from your position.

Wow! I have walked past there many times never seen it from this angle, does anyone know if the other sculpture in the background has a name or symbolises anything?

From the photo, it appears that the sculpture behind the chalice is a sheaf of wheat or other grain. In the U.S. that would make one think of the bread and wine in communion services of most Christian churches.

Very different perspective from the norm – great thinking!
