New Building on Moorhouse Avenue
There are a lot of new buildings on Moorhouse Avenue these days, but this building certainly stands out from the rest thanks to the decorative steel on it. I rather like it. It’s certainly very striking.

New Building on the Victoria and Salisbury Street Intersection
It has been a while since I have been down Victoria Street – it’s often a bit of a crush with the traffic, so I avoid it unless I have to go there. Today I decided it had been a while since visiting the street and it was high time I checked out some of…

The Terrace Development
I went for a coffee at Restart Mall today and got a surprise when I saw how much progress they’ve made on The Terrace since I’ve been away. Looking forward to the day it’s all finished.

The cordon was put in place after the September 2010 earthquake and was extended to most of the central city after the February 2011 earthquake.

Square Re-Opens with Narrow Corridor
Today, a narrow corridor opened up in the Square, linking Gloucester and Worcester streets. I only found out about it later in the day so by the time I made it in there, the weather had changed from blue sky and sunny (like a lot of the other photos out there) to overcast and dull.…

New Regent Street
I popped into town to get a photo of the street with the building coming down – as to me it’s quite symbolic of where are are at the moment in Christchurch. Things are still changing, but some things have kind of stayed the same – we still have the beautiful New Regent Street. The…
