The barrier keeping people out of the Cathedral is quite nice.
There’s a little viewing spot, where you can get a better view of the Cathedral. Inside are lots of messages from various people.
The front door. A warning. Stop deep sea oil.
Natalie contemplating some of the messages.
The River stones sculpture in Cathedral square. It was created in protest over the loss of democracy in Canterbury and the fears about how the Government manage water and environment.
Big chess. Small chess.
This man has been a staple of Cathedral Square for as long as I can remember. He sings folk tunes and plays a tin whistle. He has improved a lot.
With so many buildings having been pulled down, large scale building artwork has popped up on the buildings which remain. It’s quite a nice way to add something to the empty skyline.
Penguins on a wall.
Natalie next to the Flag Wall, opposite the Cathedral.
I like taking photos of things at angles.
The Old Post Office building. Still cordoned off.
One of the damaged heritage buildings of Christchurch.
More of the miscellaneous seating that is dotted around the city.

This new addition to the banks of the Avon river. Concrete stairs leading down to the water, providing seating for the sunny days. The larger steps have the words to poems engraved into them.

There are plenty of these ‘coming soon’ markers around.
I liked the positioning of the crest and the DANGER sign.
The old water wheel in the Avon. It’s attached to a tiny little island which sits in the middle of the river.

Hi, we’re Natalie and Jackson: a trans-continental couple who met in New York City in 2013 and haven’t been apart since. We got married in June 2015 and have been traveling around the world together.
