Continue reading →: Allandale Reserve, near Governors BayAllandale 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 the view looking over Cass Bay – which is a small settlement not far from Governors Bay and on the way to Lyttelton. A friend of mine has a dream of building a house there someday so we drove up to have a look. Isn’t it just stunning….

Continue reading →: What a hoot! My first Owl PhotoThis 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…

This sculpture can be seen on Colombo Street in Sydenham near Brougham Street. I couldn’t see any information near by about the sculpture unfortunately. It does seem it has been placed there very temporarily.

Continue reading →: New Building on the Victoria and Salisbury Street IntersectionIt has been a while since I have been down Victoria Street – it’s often a bit of a crush with the traffic, so I avoid it unless I have to go there. Today I decided it had been a while since visiting the street and it was high time…
