Last week I went down to Christchurch to work on a design job. Since moving to New Zealand, I've now been lucky enough to travel there a total of five times, unfortunately only one pre-earthquake. This last time we were lucky and didn't work too late in the evening, leaving me the opportunity to do some exploring. I put on my running shoes, stuck my headphones on and just started running.
Now I am possibly one of the worst runners out there, but being able to see this city on foot and see what's changed, what's still in taters, what's been turned into art, was a great eye opener. This city is bursting with creativity and beauty but is still unfortunately full of everyday reminders of travesty from three years ago.
All the images in this post were taken on my iPhone just around golden hour - it was so beautiful to see the city really shine in such rich light.
This city is truly beautiful and is full of possibly the nicest people you'll ever find in New Zealand. I promise to take some more pictures (with my proper camera) when I'm down there again next week!
