Continue reading →: Cabbage Trees at Halswell QuarryThese cabbage trees are on the edge of the quarry near the track. I was there today with my photo club and the 4.5 quake we had today happened just as several of us where on the stone slates near the edge. The ground wobbled underneath us – but we…

Continue reading →: Arty shipping containers Main RoadThese shipping containers on Main Road (not far from Ferrymead) have had a makeover recently with pretty pictures of Christchurch added to them – makes them seem a lot less ominous. The containers are there to protect us in case the cliff collapses. There were no containers there for quite…

Continue reading →: Blossom Trees on Bridle Path RoadThere is a field on Bridle Path Road full of trees in blossom. They are stunning. I’m guessing they are quite old?

Continue reading →: The Palms Re-opening 9am todayThis morning I went along to the re-opening of the Palms shopping centre in Shirley. It was great to see it open again and full of people. A teenage boy sang Pokarekare Ana and I was surprised that it brought a tear to my eye. It’s not just a shopping…

Continue reading →: Christchurch daily photo is 4 years old today!Four years ago today it was with some trepidation that I published my first blog post to Christchurch daily photo. I wasn’t sure if anyone would come to the blog, had no idea if I could actually manage a blog a day (turns out that on some days I can’t!),…

Continue reading →: Christchurch Group Hug – 1st Anniversary of the 7.1 QuakeI went along for the group hug at the Botanic Gardens today. It has been organised as a way to remember what happened one year ago today – the 7.1 earthquake which started the chain of events that has led to Christchurch being a very different city. Hundreds of people…

Continue reading →: Harry Ell Walkway, Victoria ParkWe had another stunning day today and I really wanted to get out for a good walk. Many of my favourite walking spots in the hills are now closed as they are too dangerous due to potential rock fall hazards from boulders that have been destabilised due to the earthquakes.…

Continue reading →: Ernle Clark Reserve, Ashrove TerraceEvery now and then I am surprised to find a new park or reserve in Christchurch (well at least new to me). Today, I discovered this wonderful spot by the Heathcote river on Ashgrove Terrace. It certainly backs up my claim of how beautiful Christchurch is and why I still…

Continue reading →: Colombo StreetThis kind of typifies life in Christchurch now – getting back to every day life – talking on the cellphone and getting to wherever we need to be, while right next to us is the remains (and often not even that) of our broken city. I personally have been amazed…

Continue reading →: Manchester StreetI’ve been away for a few days down south – hence the lack of posts. Today I needed to go into town and stopped for a quick photo of Manchester Street. I guess these buildings won’t be here much longer. I was shocked when I stopped at Colombo street –…
