Hagley Park -- Every great city
has a great central park, and the one at the heart of Christchurch,
already surrounded by breathtaking scenery, is perhaps the best in the
country.
The generous expanse of green offers walking tracks, a public golf
course, football, rugby and cricket pitches, duck pond, concert hall and
botanical garden, all girdled by the River Avon.
Here and now, in time for the austral yuletide, a Christmas tree is
being erected.
This photo is taken with the Nikon D100 digital SLR and
the Nikon f/2.8 20mm D lens.
