    Pier Number 2, part of an exhibition Derek had in a Sumner art Gallery wayyyy back in time!

  • Plains of Mist and Fog – East

    Looking across the plains to snow capped mountains looming above Christchurch City, we see a very cold start to the day. Smoke from the fires can't quite make it into the sky so hung around between the trees and buildings, hoping to warm as the dawn slinks into the past.

Towards the end of summer days the sun used to light the top floor tower whilst the streets below were in deep shadow.
