Spotted on Bealey Avenue at the entrance to a motel (think it was the Southern Comfort). An excellent land mark for people trying to find the motel – there are quite a few motels on Bealey Avenue, so a great way to stand out.

Jul 16, 2014

A cold day today with a rainy start. I saw this rainbow this morning and made a dash for my camera – rainbows I’ve discovered can very quickly disappear when you decide to photograph them. This one appears to end in the Heathcote River.

I haven’t seen people playing chess in the Cathedral Square since before the earthquakes. I’m not sure when they were put back into the square, but it’s nice to see them being used again.

My shot of the day and a stroke of luck. I was coming back home from a meeting and right by the estuary in Ferrymead were two Royal Spoonbills. I’ve never been able to get such a close-up photo as they are normally too far off or take off on…

I could see this morning that there was a lot more snow on the mountains and that it was reasonably clear. So a perfect opportunity to run out to Sumner to get this shot. I’ve tried on several occasions to get something like this, but the conditions change on me.…

My friend Emma and I spent this afternoon visiting the various antique shops on Ferry Road. It was certainly a fun afternoon and I highly recommend you try to do as many of the stores as you can (there are a lot!). But, this comes with a warning, you will…

Jun 27, 2014

Cleared residential red zone land by New Brighton Road. It’s quite surreal to walk along this road and I’m not a local resident, so I can’t begin to imagine what it must be like if your home was once here. This land was ‘red zoned’ due to earthquake damage that…
