Continue reading →: Estuary at Ferrymead with RainbowThe estuary with Ferrymead in the background and a rainbow. It’s been pretty darn cold today with wind and rain off and on. You can still see the effect the last big quake had on the estuary – the silt mounds are still there!

Continue reading →: Fridge Book Exchange on Kilmore StreetI had heard about the book fridge book exchange via the Press article. I immediately resolved to go visit it and add my own book and of course record that in photos for the blog. The book exchange is another project from Gap Filler – who are doing a great…

Continue reading →: Burger Shaped Cafe, Blenheim RoadThis restaurant / cafe has been on Blenheim road for as long as I can remember. I think it was closed for a long time, but it’s open now and is offering ‘Manfood’. Which considering its location is probably a good thing for them to do. I don’t know the…

Continue reading →: Trees in the Snow Opawa RoadI was driving along Opawa Road on my way into a meeting when I saw the light coming through the trees. I couldn’t stop, but I went back a few hours later and got a slightly different picture but one I like all the same – with the long shadows…

Continue reading →: Port Hills with Dusting of SnowThere’s still a bit of snow about after yesterday’s amazing dump (some places had 30cms of snow!). We had lovely weather today – sunshine and blue sky. I’ve photographed these trees on the hills above Heathcote a lot as I can see them from our deck. Usually I shoot them…

It was so cold this morning when I took this photo that I wore fingerless gloves (the ones without the fingertips) so I could still work the camera! The photo club I belong…

Continue reading →: DTZ Building Demolition Cashel MallToday, my partner Bruce and I went into town for a bite to eat. We didn’t expect to spend the next 4 and half hours wandering around the city and seeing not one but two buildings demolished. It’s not everyday you have a front row seat to a building demolition…

Continue reading →: Etcetera Store on Barbadoes StreetI happened to be on Barbadoes Street this morning on another matter, but had my attention diverted by this lovely shop (on the corner of Edgeware Road and Barbadoes). If you like to have a good old fossick around curio and antique stores then I think you’ll be delighted with…

Continue reading →: A city broken, but it will mendSomeone has written this moving poem and attached it to the fence at the Worcester Street cordon. The sign should come with a warning and should you go there, tissues may come in handy. I used my zoom lens to get a close-up of the Regent Theatre dome. It was…
