Baretta on St Asaph Street. A bar / restaurant which I’ve been to a few times and have always a good night out. I really like the building and have tried for a while to get a photo without a car parked out in front – finally got the shot.

It was wonderful seeing so many butterflies in such a lovely tropical setting – though it was very hot and my camera lens kept misting up which made…

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…

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…

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…

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…
