Continue reading →: Theravada Buddhist monastery on Marshlands roadThese are photos I took today while visiting the Buddhist monastery on Marshlands road with my photo club. The monastery has some lovely gardens and quiet peaceful spots, and had it not started raining on us, no doubt it would have been quite a restful place to be for the…

Continue reading →: Old Advertising on Sydenham BuildingThis interesting piece of old advertising has been revealed due to the earthquake – the bricks (which were probably a fire wall) were hiding this treasure of advertising for a wigmaker. Looks like ladies could sell their hair and get paid by the ounce. I’d love to see the rest…

Continue reading →: Autumn in the CityAutumn has certainly arrived. Every year I think that Autumn is my favourite season – and then Spring comes along and I’m not so sure! I still can’t decide, but am loving all the colours and the light. This serene looking scene is opposite Oxford Terrace.

Continue reading →: Messages of HopeMessages left on the barricade that surrounds what was the Carlton Hotel on Bealey Avenue. The Carlton was pulled down after concerns that it would collapse if we had another strong aftershock (for more info read the TVNZ news item). The Carlton was over 100 years old, I didn’t frequent…

Continue reading →: Teddy Bear, Colombo Street SydenhamColombo Street at the Sydenham shops has only just been re-opened to the public, so I took a look for myself at how it has radically changed. A whole block of old character buildings has disappeared. It has given me some sense of what it might be like when we…

Continue reading →: And a little spaniel waitsSo cute! Snapped outside of a cafe in Lyttelton waiting for his/her owner to finish having lunch. He/she was quite focused on the door of the cafe and was not that interested in posing for me, but I finally got a half decent shot of him/her. I had a cocker…

Continue reading →: Breathe and LoveIf you have been following my blog since the quake, then you might remember my post about the importance of proper breathing during this time. Well here is a reminder once again, this time from Lyttelton. I must admit I caught myself holding my breath a few times on my…

Continue reading →: Double rainbow welcome homeI took this image late Tuesday afternoon as I was coming back from my visit down south. You can just make out the second rainbow at the top. It was pretty stunning in real life but also frustrating to capture as it disappeared on me not long after I took…

Continue reading →: Sunset and cloud reflectionI’m back from my break away from Christchurch (hence the lack of posts). It was great to be away from everything, but I am also pleased to be back and getting into my daily routine (including taking photos!). This picture was taken tonight at about 6pm from the balcony. I’ve…

Continue reading →: Jimmy’s PiesI’ve left Christchurch for a few days to get a break from the after shocks, the congested traffic, and the daily reminders of what happened. Everyone I know has reached their ‘need a break’ limit at different times, and mine is now! So I am in Balclutha visiting my Mum.…
