Continue reading →: A new view from Cathedral Square
I was struck today by the lack of a building where the crane is in this photo. I knew the building was being demolished, but as you can see, it’s completely gone and there is a new view of the port hills just past the Heritage Hotel. That’s what happens…

Continue reading →: Rebuild Zone Sign – Open for Business
This Rebuild Zone sign is on Avonside Drive near Fitzgerald Avenue. I seem to recall reading that the signs have been put up by SCIRT (the organisation that is fixing the infrastructure of Christchurch). The rebuild is gaining momentum at the moment with various streets closing to repair underground infrastructure.…

Continue reading →: Chicken Tree
I’ve come to think of this rather sad looking Cabbage Tree as the Chicken Tree as it kind of looks like a chicken or a rooster. It’s in Ferrymead Park just opposite the entrance to the Ferrymead Heritage Village.

Continue reading →: A New Building in Sydenham
The city suburb of Sydenham was quite severely affected by the series of earthquakes Christchurch experienced – with many buildings being demolished. New buildings are going up though, and this one on Colombo street looks to be fairly close to being finished. It’s nice to see progress and new buildings,…

I went to the gardens to photograph the hydrangeas and just opposite the hydrangea section was this lilly plant which caught my eye. Imagine my surprise when I then realised there was a monarch flying about…

Rangatira Terrace near St Andrews Hill Road has had quite a bit of work done on it to secure the rock-face and rebuild the road. It’s rather a steep road as you can see from the picture on the right.

Continue reading →: Rapaki Track WalkAnother big walk today – this time up the Rapaki Track. The track starts off Rapaki Road which is off Centaurus Road. It’s a popular track with walkers, runners and cyclists. It always takes me at least 1.5 hours to do the return trip (that’s if I’m walking quickly). Though…

Continue reading →: A walk down from the Gondola
After experiencing days of rain we have finally had a brilliant sunny day, so we thought it would be a nice day to go for a walk in the hills. So we headed to the gondola and hitched a ride up the hill (we walked to the gondola building). Once…

Continue reading →: Ferrymead Park TodayIt’s been raining for days on end in Christchurch. We might get a small respite, but then it will start raining again. This morning I was feeling quite a bit of ‘cabin fever’ so headed out the door for a walk around Ferrymead. I think it was a good idea…

Continue reading →: The Beach View from RedcliffsIn an attempt to burn off some of our Christmas over-indulgence, we walked from Ferrymead to Shag Rock today. It’s quite overcast today over on the west side of the city, but by the sea we had some blue sky and sunshine – but also some rain and wind. Overall…
