Continue reading →: PoppiesThese poppies have sprung up on a vacant lot in Opawa – where the Opawa shops used to be. I’m seeing a bit of this happening – nature re-claiming the land (sometimes with a bit of help from us but often all on her own).

Continue reading →: Russian Orthodox Church of St Nicholas on Brougham StThis church has always intrigued me, as for years I’ve driven past it and wondered what kind of church it was. I’ve been meaning to photograph it, but I’m always dashing from A to B when I’m driving along Brougham Street so never stop. Well, today I finally did stop…

Continue reading →: Abandoned Bar, Oxford TerraceThis is what was the Tap Room, and it’s one of the remaining bars on Oxford Terrace (the spot that I knew in the 90’s as ‘The Strip’). It’s right beside the Re-Start container shopping mall – so people are draw to it and have a look inside through the…

Continue reading →: It doesn’t matter how slowly you go…Spotted in Lyttelton today. The sign reads ‘it doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you don’t stop!” This is great advice for any situation really – no matter what you are trying to achieve you’ll never get there if you give up. Christchurch might take a while…

Continue reading →: All they want for Christmas is……an answer from EQC. I don’t know the story behind this present shaped building in Lyttelton. But clearly they’ve had enough of dealing with the Earthquake Commission. The ‘red tape’ and paper work that people are dealing with every day is one of the things that really drags people down…

Continue reading →: The Christmas PavThis is a traditional Christmas Pavlova dessert. For those of you unfamiliar with a Pavlova it’s essentially a giant meringue – which we top with strawberries or kiwifruit – it’s a very typical NZ and Australian dessert. This one was consumed shortly after the photo was taken and it was…
