It seems i've been so involved in projects recently i've not had time to post them. Here's some of my photos from the past few weekends. Its been a crazy time, it doesn't normally snow in Christchurch but it did last week and there was heaps! What really amused me was how the whole city shut down, which meant no work, woo hoo.
A lot of these city folk really didnt like it either...i'm very glad now i wasn't brought up in a city. I feel like city folk (and i mean the type who never leave) experience less and when it comes to a couple weeks without power and water for whatever reason(as in during the earthquake)all hell breaks loose, there was serious displacement from comfort zones, grumble grumble grumble. When really what I experienced was a real sense of community for the first time in Christchurch. People spoke to/met their neighbours, everybody helped everybody made sure everyone was ok and had food and water. We sat out each night around a fire and cooked on it, played music, talked about impending doom and the like. If it wasn't for the devastation that caused it all it would have been idyllic (for me).
Anyways, digression complete, hope you enjoy my photos
