Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Gudrun Gisela,
That must have hurt.
Not at all. I have so much nerve damage on my left side from the stroke and I did them to encourage some feeling back . I think it helped a bit. But wasn't painful. That tat photo was just after the Gloriosa rothschildiana was done in the foreground. It was still a bit swollen. I got quite a few more after that :)

I have the luxury of stepping away from this, so I will. Dont want to drag those positive about it down. and I can't find merit in any of it so I will bow out.

Hard News: Christchurch: Is "quite good"…, in reply to Hebe,
And we wouldn’t have to spend megabucks on a new library if the convention centre wasn’t plonked on top of a perfectly repairable old one.
I think the picture is quite clear, don't you? It is not about the people at all. Amy Adams did her best to hide that they want assets sold to meet these costs in parliament this past week.As if you guys haven't lost enough as it is, they want your blood.

Fran O’Sullivan obviously didn’t realise her Kool Aid was the Ken Kesey recipe ;-) Oh the swirls! The colours! The ideas!
My Uncle was friends with that dude. I suspect any relation connection to Fran O'Sullivan witterings on would be an insult of the highest order. :)

And I totally agree with Rob above about the billion-buck monuments. I can spot a major case of legacy disease.
Something Ian Athfield could see and quickly distanced himself from.

, here’s some of the new infrastructure required for rail electrification that is starting to appear alongside the Western line … at night of course, just to make it look more sci-fi.
We noticed that at Morningside. Heading this way soon... :)

In future years, if the central city started to bulge at the seams, this land could be released back to the market.
So, ticky tacky houses then, just in the future when all the assets are gone I imagine. I cant get my head around the buildings because I don't see the people sorted. I'd rather see the houses and infrastructure given priority , fixed, and then put up some sort of competition from architects all over the world so the city could work for everyone not just bloody Convention Centre types and property developers that couldn't make good use of their land before the quakes. Now it seems they will make huge profits off the Govt contracts. Wasn't there issues with Bob Parker and Property developer mates before? Or is that pie in the sky now? There is an old thread here about it somewhere. Anyway I just want the people to be ok first, ALL of them.
Told Fran as much. Doubt she will listen. -

Is that next to Atomic?
Why yes it is Jackson. We already have one of his pieces and he delights everytime I see him. Ours is a robot. His space stuff is great fun.

Reflections of Kingsland through the window in Kingsland.
I should add (for advertising purposes ;)
Andy Palace’s lights are one offs. All are created from recycled Metal and glass. He suggests that his lights should last 100 years and are energy efficient.
