Dinosaur Fun at Halswell Quarry Park
I went along to the DinoFest event at Halswell Quarry Park. It’s very much a family day out with a dinosaur show and then the chance to walk around the park and view the static dinosaur display. I think the show is now fully booked out, but it looked like people were still getting door…

Night Noodle Market
A busy evening in Hagley Park tonight with the very popular Night Noodle Market. It’s running for 10 days, so you’ve got plenty of time to get down and sample some of the food or the funky looking pineapple drinks everyone seemed to have!

First Thursdays ChCh – Lost in Space Event in Sydenham
I checked out the First Thursdays event in Sydenham this evening with its Lost in Space theme. The robot costumes were very well done.

Armageddon Expo in Christchurch
I got along to the Armageddon Expo today for some awesome photo opportunities. What a fun and interesting place to hang out for an hour. Plus, so many of the exhibitors were very obliging with their posing – striking great poses for anyone who put a camera in front of them. People-watching is also a…

The Big Model Train Show
I went along to the Big Model Train show at Pioneer stadium today. It was so much fun and I am so impressed with the work that has obviously gone into creating these displays. My favourite had to be the first exhibit though – it was quite a big one with large trains and rather…

Marching Competition
Shots from a Marching competition I attended today with my photo club. Marching is an organised sport in New Zealand for women, it has its origins in the 1930’s (businesses used to compete against each other in sports and have a ‘march in’ – with the marching eventually becoming a competition in its own right).

The market is one of the initiatives of the New Brighton Project – who work to foster New Brighton as an ‘inclusive healthy, stimulating and co-operative community’. Good on them, as New Brighton needs a helping hand. It’s no secret that…
