There was an Indian exhibitian and dancing in the art gallery called "colours of India" Very vibrant colours as you can see. You can visit it till the 22nd of August. Next week another friend who makes sculptures wil have an exhition at the Art Gallery.
A touch of Indian culture in the Art Gallery. Baswhati posed for me in one of her nice dresses
A shot of part of my favourite place in Christchurch: The Art Centre It was a former High School and University. Now you can buy here arts and crafts.
In the summer we eat here some food and listen to music while having this view
Even the trees are dressed warmly this winter
I have been there and I liked it very much. It is good to have a lively cultural centre like that. One can learn so much with each visit. Never saw the warmly dressed trees though.
ReplyDeletewhat a nice contribution. thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeletehug, p
I have been in your city as well LGS Maybe at the same time you were here so we missed each other. A petty you didn't see the warmly dressed tree. Pretty common here :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again Patricia
Fascinating photos! Love those Indian dresses! And it is so lovely to see the Arts Centre! My hubby is always telling me how beautiful it is! (He lived in Christchurch for many years!) But he said he can't remember a tree being dressed like that!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics and glad to hear that you got to see a slice of India!
ReplyDeleteThe tree should be really lucky to be taken care so well!Wonderful.
Hi Gemma I didn't know your husband lived in Chch You must visit it one day and visit us or have a coffee

Oh how annoying I missed the Indian festival - I would have been very interested in that!
ReplyDeleteMarja - did you know about the writing competition? It's on at the Art Gallery on 29th August. Google it to find out more. Maybe we could meet for a coffee - would be lovely to catch up.
BTW do you know who clothed the tree in that lovely piece of knitting graffiti ? (it wasn't me!!) ;o)
Kia ora Marja,
ReplyDeleteTara and I had our picture taken leaning on that middle pillar back in 1994 when on my first trip down that way. We have it framed on our book shelf. Christchurch has a vibrancy I really enjoy,can't wait to visit again.
