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.
The Rapaki Track at sunset. It has been a beautiful day in Christchurch with simply stunning weather. It has been a warm still evening and lovely for walking in the hills. Hope everyone is having a great first day of 2010 and I wish you all the best for the year ahead.
I remember a photographer telling me they always got their best shots in the evening or early morning – the lighting is just fantastic, well done Michelle! BTW I took some very Christchurch photos today paddling down the River Avon … will be posting them on my blog soon.
