Continue reading →: Octagon Restaurant Support FiguresThe Octagon Restaurant on Manchester is currently closed – as you can see there are large beams supporting the façade of the building . I think these sculptures were there before the earthquake.

Continue reading →: Shaken but still standing tallI rather like this sign on Manchester street – I was there today and rather liked the sentiment of the sign. Yes, there used to be a building there – now just a vacant lot.

Continue reading →: Earthquake Lecture Canterbury UniversityThis evening I attended a lecture by geologist Dr Mark Quigley from the University of Canterbury. He’s featured a lot on the news lately, and gave an interesting and funny talk on the science behind the quakes and his personal experiences. We arrived at the University to discover a rather…

Continue reading →: Causeway, Main Road SunsetMain road which runs along the estuary causeway and goes to Sumner. Rather looks like an advert for a rental car company doesn’t it? Except, when you are driving you never really get to enjoy what you are see that much!

Continue reading →: Frolicking LambsLambs are so cute and they play all day long (when they are not eating that is). It’s such a shame that they grow up to be rather boring sheep!

Continue reading →: Swans and CygnetsFor quite a few weeks I have been driving past these swans and their offspring (they live on the canal by Linwood Ave) and thinking ‘must try photographing them sometime’. Well today I thought it was about time – or they wouldn’t be cygnets for much longer. There are around…

Continue reading →: Keas at Arthur’s PassArthur’s Pass is a small settlement on the way to the West Coast of the South Island. If you ever stop there, don’t leave your car unattended (unless you have good insurance!). The keas are curious and can not resist pulling things off cars, especially shiny things. This particular Kea…
