Yesterday was time to get Extreme Cold Weather (ECW) clothing issued. Because most of that time was spent with people changing into clothes, I didn’t feel super-comfortable having a camera out. So, I didn’t take a lot of pictures.
To compensate I have a bunch of pictures taken while wandering around Christchurch. Most are from a morning stroll through the botanical garden. The garden had a large family of ducklings (ducklings!).
-
- Strange bow-things outside the art gallery
-
- Wandering into a random open courtyard, I discover a house floating in midair
-
- Turns out the courtyard belongs to the Art Institute (with some earthquake damage showing). The floating house changes
-
- Crane Before Building. Something about this scene compelled me to photograph it
-
- Next, my wanders take me to the Botanical Gardens. There I encounter a large family of ducklings
-
- Sculpture of knotted wrestlers
-
- Another sculpture, empty of water, on loan from somebody’s collection
-
- Building Above Trees. I like such scenes, especially with modern-looking buildings like the Women’s Hospital
-
- My only macro shots of flowers that turned out were of this flower
-
- The sitter is granted a limited license to use this bench for the purposes of sitting
-
- Many Pathways
-
- Clearly I chose the correct path, as I encounter the duckligs again, grazing near the river
-
- The Rock Garden
-
- A lilly pond by the rock garden
-
- The New Zealand recreation of one of my favourite photos I took in Texas (full post)
-
- Red Ball
-
- Sundial with very thorough calibration information (plaque graph)
-
- The ducklings again, all snuggled together
-
- Hello to you too
-
- Bridge Flowers
-
- Pathway. I like pathways
-
- Another sculpture, of a bird-like-thing
-
- I bump into fellow Antarctica-goers Annamarie and Stef. Thanks to this picture, they’re famous now
-
- They put up with me as I follow them. (In addition to empty pathways, I like people walking along pathways)
-
- Red and Yellow Flowers. That is their technical name
-
- Strange Stump-Standing Stef. She’s too good for regular-standing
-
- USAP CDC
-
- Long lineup of gear bags
-
- Labeled examples of all the gear
-
- More labeled gear examples (excuse the poor quality)
-
- Home of the Red Jacket. Juan got a peek behind the counter
-
- Wall bikes, near a good collection of bars
-
- Wall car, safely distant from the wall bikes
