Continue reading →: City Walk – Cycle Lanes and Wide Footpaths
A few photos today from my walk around the city. I’ve picked these ones as they show some of the urban developments that I find interesting – such as the new cycle lanes and the narrowing of the streets with larger footpaths. This is Colombo Street by the bus exchange…

I walked past this house while on my way to a meeting today. I don’t know anything about it except that it was built in 1876 according to the plaque and it has an historic places trust sign. It’s very cute.

I visited the rose garden today with members of my photo club. I was the only one that knew about the garden – it’s something of a hidden gem in Christchurch.

Continue reading →: Blue Scarlet Pop Up ShopI was walking along Gloucester street when this shop drew me in with a riot of bright colours. It’s the pop up shop for Blue Scarlet. It’s located at 165 Gloucester St in the brand new building that’s beside New Regent Street. As an added bonus, they are sharing space…
