It’s easy to get disorientated in this ever changing city of ours, and I certainly felt that way on Manchester street. The Charles Luney House building is no more – it was corner of Manchester St and Oxford Tce. The land will now be part of the Eastern frame of…

Taken today from the corner of Armagh Street and Madras Street. That’s a lot of grass. There was once upon a time a whole block of buildings. I’m not quite sure of the future of this area, I believe it will be part of the green ‘frame’ but have also…

Allandale Reserve is near Governors Bay (which is over the hills from Christchurch on the Banks Peninsula). The reserve has a 3km walkway that you can cycle or walk on and goes between the reserve and Governors Bay. It’s a lovely spot. The tide was out while I was there,…

This is my first ever Owl photo. I don’t normally see them or even know where they are. I did think recently that I had been hearing an owl late at night. I may have been correct, as this one is not far from where I live. I’m not sure…

I discovered these wonderful egg artworks around the central city today (there are some in the Botanic Gardens as well). Each one is by a different artist. They are part of an ‘egg hunt’ – find the egg and then text your name and the name on the egg to…

There are a lot of new buildings on Moorhouse Avenue these days, but this building certainly stands out from the rest thanks to the decorative steel on it. I rather like it. It’s certainly very striking.
