Continue reading →: Lyttelton Port with Snowy HillsFishing boats docked at Lyttleton Port with the hills dusted with snow. Yes, it’s getting cold and we could be in for a long cold winter.

Continue reading →: Bare Tree by the Heathcote RiverI took this photo standing from a bridge that goes over the heathcote river (you can just make out the water). It would have to be one of my favourite photos from this Autumn. The light was just lovely, and my intention was to get a shot with good bokeh…

Continue reading →: Giant Puddle and ReflectionThis one’s for Michael, who wondered where my rainy shots were! Well, no rain, because after the rain comes the sun in Canterbury. But here is the after effect of the rain we have been having (and it has been rather a lot!). I waited for a car to drive…

Continue reading →: Pretty TreeI was sitting under this tree at the Dux de lux restaurant. Isn’t it pretty? Ten minutes before taking this shot I had resolved not to take any more ‘pretty tree’ photos (having snapped every tree from Cathedral Square down to the Arts Centre!). But as you see, I couldn’t…

Continue reading →: Mountain Sun SetThis was taken last night from the Sign of the Takahe lookout. I shot this using a sunset mode, and I think it put too much orange into it, but I like it anyway! I’ve zoomed right in to get the southern alps mountain range and the mist. We had…

Continue reading →: Tree in Cathedral SquareI took this photo today in Cathedral Square around noon. It is back lit (see the sun burst peeping through) and I adjusted the exposure. Quite an interesting effect I think.

Continue reading →: Canadian Goose in FlightThis Canadian Goose was flying over the Travis Wetland. The wetland is a great place to go for a leisurely walk, take photos, and if you like bird watching then you will be in heaven as there are several great vantage points and a lot of interesting bird life.

Continue reading →: Lyttelton at DuskI was in Lyttelton late this afternoon and at around 5pm this is what I saw. The colour disappeared in about 8 minutes. I drove through the tunnel back to Christchurch to see a brilliant red streak of light across the sky, but I could not get a good view…

Continue reading →: Birthday Bloomers on Barrie StreetApparently, these knickers have been hanging from this pole for quite a few weeks. I discovered them during a walk around my friend Emma’s neighbourhood of Addington. It was an interesting morning to be out, and we saw – man with gun off to go duck hunting we presumed and…
