Decor by the kids from the scool brightens up Lyttelton's main Street

 

  

This building is next to the museum - bricks have fallen off the top layer by the looks of things - Love how you can see the bare wood skeleton 

 

Lazy shot day (I've been ill) - taken from my garden. The yellow of the grasses with the blue was beautiful though

 

Buskers!

Today at the Buskers' Festival...

 

and yesterday....the beautiful native garden of a house which is going to be demolished

Hereford Street

This house, standing alone on Hereford Street, is right next to the Re:start Mall and the demolishion work which is ongoing.  It is wood hence kind of survived the quakes - the side is amazing - you can see all the woodwork...

The mystery patchwork yesterday was a kind of T Cosy for a concrete brick holding up a retaining wall in Lyttelton!

Today’s photo was taken driving home from the mall – an abandoned chair. Helpfully at the bus stop

Lyttelton art

 

Today's photo (above) comes from just by the doctors - This little piece of street art has been here for well over a year. I've noticed it lots.

No it is not my washing - its an arty thing on the corner of colombo street and brougham street by Gap Filler - photo taken from the car in the traffic so not the best angle but the best I could do today!

Rally

I don't usually take photos in loos but we used to have this picture at home when I was about 5 and my mum was following the 1980s clown thing... this pic is in a cafe in Barbadoes Street!

 

Happily minding your own business then all of a sudden you are swamped by a democracy - "what do we want - our city back.  When do we want it? - errrr now...."
