Continue reading →: Trees on Bridle Path RoadI’ve been watching the little tree on the right change colour these past few weeks (it’s on Bridle Path Road not far from the turn off to Ferrymead Park). I’ve been admiring the tree and marvelling at mother nature – it just gets on and does its thing right on…

Continue reading →: CBD PhotosWatching St Elmos apartments coming down. Yesterday I realised that from the gardens I was able to walk two blocks up to Durham Street, so took the opportunity to take some photos and see for myself what this part of the CBD is like. It was not as bad as…

Continue reading →: A walk around the Botanic GardensI went into the Botanic Gardens this morning to meet up with the photo club in the Rose Garden. For a while, we had most of gardens to our selves. It was an overcast morning with a bit of drizzle but it was still quite warm and everything in the…

Continue reading →: A walk around SumnerYesterday I went for a short walk around the sea-side suburb of Sumner and took a few photos. I was pleased to see that many homes look good from the outside (at least the ones on the flat as I did not venture up into the hills). And quite a…

Continue reading →: Sumner Borough Council BuildingI went for a walk around Sumner today, mainly because I really needed some fresh sea air and figured the smell of the ocean would be good for me. And it certainly was, the beach is still as beautiful as ever, but a few things have certainly changed. I didn’t…

Continue reading →: Most definitely closedThis is the entrance to Ferrymead Countdown. It’s been closed since the earthquake and as the sign demonstrates they really really don’t want people coming near the building. Even though I’m missing my local supermarket very much (please get it fixed asap), it still amuses me at how they have…

Continue reading →: Central City Video Footage
Here’s a video from the New Zealand Ministry of Civil Defence of the CBD in Christchurch and the devastation wreaked on the city by February’s earthquake. I am not sure if I am still in shock over it or if I have started grieving for my city. It’s a powerful…

Continue reading →: Cliff face loose rock clearingThis is part of the cliff that is down the hill from us. It’s had a lot of loose rock coming down since the earthquake, so these rock climbers have been employed to check the cliff and remove any loose rock (following the advice of a geologist).

Continue reading →: Pagani Shop Front South CityI went to South City mall today to go to the supermarket and walked past the Pagani store which is closed – and as you can see they’ve put the mannequins in the window.
