Christchurch lies on the Canterbury Plains with views of the Southern Alps mountain range. The city has hill suburbs nestled in what are called the 'Port Hills'. Christchurch is well known for its many parks and gardens, including Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens.
If you drive over the Port Hills down into Governor’s Bay and then drive towards Lyttelton, you will come across the small settlement of Rapaki which has a Marae, a small church, a very nice bay, and the jetty. It’s a very pleasant spot.
What a wonderfully photogenic jetty!
I agree, it works really well in B&W

This is a great black and white image Michelle!
I’d love to walk down this jetty and take a couple of shots one day.
Cheers
