Sunset in Ferrymead
When I left the house the light was pretty average and overcast, but I had some hopes that the sun would peak through right at the end of the day. And voila, just like magic we got this most stunning sunset tonight. Wow. I was out for a walk around Ferrymead and down by the…

Sunrise by the estuary in Ferrymead
I’ve never been a big morning person – but the sight of the pink sky this morning propelled me out of the house without so much as a cup of tea – I knew that light wouldn’t last long. I love how the clouds get reflected in the water when the light is right. A…

Sumner Beach at Dusk
Sumner Beach is a wonderful spot any-time of the day, but for photography it excels in the evening. I always like to shot into the sun and then turn around and shot out of it – for two very different photos.

Sunset Tonight
My view! Not bad huh. A beautiful sunset over the Heathcote river. It’s been a hot day with a nor’wester wind – which usually guarantees we get a lovely sunset.

Early Morning by the Estuary
I took this photo early this morning by the estuary at Ferrymead (Humphreys Drive). It was about 6.45am and the start of a beautiful and hot summer’s day in Christchurch. It’s not often I’m up and taking photos at that time of the day on a week day, but it was so warm this morning…

Dusk this Evening
A lovely light this evening as the sun set with layers of hills and mountains in the background. And looking down to Ferrymead and the estuary.

Sunset with the Ferrymead Bridge
Another lovely warm day today, I even heard a few cicadas clicking away. All rather surprising considering how close we are to winter. With warm days we often get lovely sunsets, and tonight I could only see part of the pink sky but the part I could see was reflected in the Heathcote river along…

A beautiful dawn heralds the first day of Spring
You’ve got to get up early to get these shots! Even now when it is just only Spring, the sun is rising at 7am approximately. So you need to get down to the Pier before that of course and then jostle for position with the other photographers doing just what you are doing! It was…

Sumner Beach at Dusk
I took a lot of photos of Sumner Beach at dusk today, I should have had my tripod with me, and I pushed the camera a bit too far… but it didn’t do too badly. Except the brown spot in the middle of this photo is not distinguishable as a dog! But for some reason…

A lovely sunset tonight
A lovely sunset. It was 25 degrees in Christchurch today – but I was in Hanmer for most of the day where it still got to about 22. Great weather for this time of the year, that’s for sure.

Mountains at Sunset
The mountains tonight as the sun was setting. We had a norwester wind today, which usually gives us interesting sunsets at night. No rain or thunder or lightening today!
