Passing Time 2010

ï»¿Anton Parsons Passing Time sculpture Passing Time is by Auckland-based sculptor Anton Parsons, a graduate of the University of Canterburyâ€™s School of Fine Arts. The work consists of a twisting ribbon of randomly linked boxes - with each box depicting one of the years between 1906 (founding of CPIT) and 2010 (the date of the sculptureâ€™s installation). The work can be walked around, walked through, touched and sat on. â€œThe winding form of the sculpture â€“ placed on a street within the original 1851 grid plan commissioned by the Canterbury Association for their new settlement â€“ is also a nod to the winding Avon River, an irregular feature of the landscape over which a street grid was placed,â€ says Anton Parsons. ï»¿Anton Parsons Passing Time sculpture Passing Time is by Auckland-based sculptor Anton Parsons, a graduate of the University of Canterburyâ€™s School of Fine Arts.

Urban Landscape. Northwood.

Northwood Estate Christchurch. A pergola, arbor or arbour is a garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which woody vines are trained. As a type of gazebo, it may also be an extension of a building, or serve as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions. Northwood Estate Christchurch.

The Temple Christchurch.

The Temple for Christchurch is a large scale built artwork. Artist Tim Jago is chairman of the Temple for Christchurch Trust, a member of the International Arts Megacrew, and a native Cantabrian. Once completed, the public will be invited to explore the grounds, to pin thoughts and mementos to it, reflect, grieve, and find joy. This project follows in the tradition of the Burning Man festival. The Burning Man temple is built every year on site and invites participants of the festival to come and bring their own hurts, troubles and trauma to be expressed on the walls of this Temple and then be burnt away on the last night. Tim Jago and his team is taking this concept and reimagining it here in Christchurch to allow people to process and release the emotions of the last 18 months of earthquakes. After being open to the public, the temple will be moved to a location outside of town and burned. The Temple for Christchurch is a large scale built artwork.

Chapman's Homer,Christchurch NZ.

The Bull is back in Christchurch This bull sculpture was part of an art exhibition that was on last year. The sculpture captivated the people of Christchurch and it is now seen as a symbol of the cityâ€™s grit, determination and strength. The Christchurch Art Gallery Trust is now running a fund-raising campaign to buy the bull for Christchurch. I think this is a fabulous idea and look forward to the campaign being successful and the bull making its permanent home the Christchurch Art Gallery. The bull is by New Zealand artist Michael Parekowhai and is called Chapmanâ€™s Homer. The Bull is back in Christchurch This bull sculpture was part of an art exhibition that was on last year.

Doubtful Sound. New Zealand.

Doubtful Sound / Patea is a very large and naturally imposing fiord (despite its name) in Fiordland, in the far south west of New Zealand. It is located in the same region as the smaller but more famous and accessible Milford Sound. It took second place after Milford Sound as New Zealand's most famous tourism destination. History Doubtful Sound was named 'Doubtful Harbour' in 1770 by Captain Cook, who did not enter the inlet as he was uncertain whether it was navigable under sail. It was later renamed Doubtful Sound by whalers and sealers, although it is not technically a sound but a fiord.

Yellow road marker.

Yellow cat's eyes, road studs or retroreflective raised pavement markers (RRPMs) are used to visually reinforce a yellow no-passing line. The painted passing line can be less visible when the road is wet. Usually a white cat's eye is used in the centre of the road if overtaking is permitted. If yellow cat's eyes are present they are bi-directional if the line is applicable in both directions, or mono-directional if it's only applicable in one direction and spaced every 10m. On unlit rural roads the markers are in groups of four, one metre apart, with 10m between each group. Only one of the group of four road studs is required to be reflective. On no overtaking advance warning lines they are spaced 20m apart. The yellow cats eyes are the same kind as used in the UK or Australia and they are used in the same manner.

Hubbard Glacier 4

The longest source for Hubbard Glacier originates 122 kilometres (76 mi) from its snout and is located at about 61Â°00â€²N 140Â°09â€²W, approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) west of Mount Walsh with an altitude around 11,000 feet (3,400 m). A shorter tributary glacier begins at the easternmost summit on the Mount Logan ridge at about 18,300 feet (5,600 m) at about 60Â°35â€²0â€³N 140Â°22â€²40â€³W. Before it reaches the sea, Hubbard is joined by the Valerie Glacier to the west, which, through forward surges of its own ice, has contributed to the advance of the ice flow that experts believe will eventually dam the Russell Fjord from Disenchantment Bay waters.

Warbirds over Wanaka is a biennial air show in Wanaka, held on the Easter weekend of even-numbered years since 1986. It is held at Wanaka Airport, 10 km south-east of Wanaka, in the southern South Island of New Zealand. Initially conceived by New Zealand live deer recovery pioneer, Sir Tim Wallis, as a display day for him to play with his collection of World War II aircraft, the show has grown into a major institution. Roads are closed and traffic is detoured around the area during the weekend. Hotels, motels and backpackers around Wanaka are usually booked well in advance (two years ahead). Accommodation is impossible to find if one does not have a booking. Warbirds over Wanaka is a biennial air show in Wanaka, held on the Easter weekend of even-numbered years since 1986.
