Continue reading →: A city glowing in early morning lightThey say the early bird gets the worm. Well the early photographer gets to see early morning light. But this is a little more than just early morning light. It’s how it’s concentrated entirely on the city. It seems so symbolic to me. Apparently, the sun needs to be shining…

Continue reading →: Art work on a corrugated iron fence in HeathcoteI recently noticed this piece of art appeared on the fence on Port Hills Road in Heathcote. I don’t know anything about it, and didn’t see any name on the artwork. Intriguing. Just a typical event in post-earthquake Christchurch though – things just appear from nowhere!

It was badly damaged due to the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 and has been scheduled for demolition starting later this month.

Continue reading →: Some photos from my walk around the city todayEvery couple of weeks my partner Bruce and I venture into the central city for our ‘cordon walk’. That’s where we walk around the perimeter of the ‘red zone’ of the central city. There can be dramatic changes even in just a few weeks between visits, with new and weird…

Continue reading →: Smoke Plumes from West Melton Scrub FireI was out for a walk at lunchtime when I noticed a lot of smoke rising up. It kept getting bigger so I decided it had to be photographed… It wasn’t until I watched the news tonight that I learned it was from a scrub fire that took hold in…

Continue reading →: Cute Inner City CottagesIf you go for a walk down Montreal Street or Durham street (down by the Bealey Ave end) you will see quite a few much-loved cottages. Because they are wooden (and therefore light in construction) they’ve survived the earthquakes intact. Love the cottage gardens out the front of some of…

Continue reading →: A walk up the HillA few cellphone snaps from my walk up the Mt Pleasant hill at lunchtime today. Love the sunflowers – which are a lot further on than mine are. The letterbox was amusing but sad – there’s not house on the section any-more, but there’s a fence in front of the…

Continue reading →: Ferrymead Park PathAfter quite a period of activity along this stretch of the park I realised a lovely new path had been created. So to whoever was responsible, many thanks, as it’s a nice little path! And here’s a view that I never tire off – those Port Hills with Castle Rock…
