Continue reading →: Art Installation on Chester Street East
I spotted this at the end of Chester Street East when I went to photograph the Chesterfields garden. I’m not sure what it is – sort of like a cross between a Mayfair Pole and a Totem. The concrete pavers have wording on them – I could only read the…

Continue reading →: Totara Estate near OamaruLocated just south of Oamaru on State Highway One, Totara Estate is the birthplace of New Zealand’s frozen meat export industry. I’ve driven past the entrance to the Estate many times, but today I decided to finally drive in and have a look. I discovered a series of historic buildings…

Continue reading →: Packe Street Park and Community Garden
After featuring the Chester Street East community garden on the blog, I was informed by a Facebook reader about this community garden on Packe Street – which was described as looking like someone’s backyard. And the garden certainly has that feel about it, there were even small children running around…

Continue reading →: Reflections in the Heathcote River / EstuaryThis morning it was very still and I noticed the clouds were reflecting in the water of the Heathcote River (near where it turns into the estuary). So I grabbed my camera and went for a walk to find the best vantage point. The first photo was taken on Bridle…

Continue reading →: Chesterfields Garden on Chester Street EastA friend of mine discovered this lovely community park last week and mentioned I may like to check it out for the blog. The park is located on Chester Street East in the city (not far from Barbadoes Street). It’s a lovely spot and I can see it’s a much…

Continue reading →: Heathcote Values Shipping ContainerThis shipping container is in front of a red zoned section on Bridle Path Road. The house has been demolished so I’m not sure why the container is there unless there’s a rock fall hazard still from the hill above. The container as you can see has been decorated with…

Continue reading →: 151 Cambridge Terrace
This new building at 151 Cambridge Terrace (corner of Gloucester Street) can’t be far off from being finished – so floors now have working lights. It’s probably the most popular design of the new buildings that have gone up in Christchurch. It’s certainly going to be a landmark one.

Just one of the unusual sights you can see if you venture into the city at the moment. This is in Cashel Mall. I photographed the same spot a while back when it just had the green shingle and that was enough of an odd sight, but to see the…

Continue reading →: Beach at Birdlings FlatThis is the beach at Birdlings Flat which is not far from the small town of Little River – about 40 minutes out of Christchurch on the way to Akaroa. As I am the owner of a shiny new bicycle, we headed out to the Little River Rail Trail to…

Continue reading →: Sumner BeachI went to Sumner beach today and grabbed myself an ice-cream, dipped my toes in the water and went for a walk between Scarborough and Sumner. A lovely way to spend some of New Year’s Day. Hope you all have a lovely New Year too and a great 2015.

I bought a new bike today and was very exciting to get stuck into some cycling. So my partner and I cycled from our home in Mt Pleasant into the Tannery shopping centre in Woolston and shouted ourselves an ice-cream (and mine had salted caramel topping). On the way back,…

Continue reading →: Giraffe in the Botanic Gardens
After a short break away to Queenstown for Christmas, I am now back in Christchurch and enjoying the ‘holiday at home’. This afternoon I enjoyed a lovely walk through the Botanic Gardens and spotted this beauty. This Giraffe sculpture is called Spring and is by artist Gwilym Devey and is…
