A foggy day

On Saturday we went to Lyttelton for breakfast, a quiet drive through the tunnel and out to the port. It was freezing in Christchurch, the fog low over the city thick and cloying. Lyttelton wasn't much brighter. Breakfast was yummy and I had yet another wonderful coffee, how I've missed a good espresso.

On the way home we drove along the Port Hills on the high road. What a treat. The sun shone, the sky a brilliant winter blue and the view over the city to the mountains absolutely stunning. There are times I wish I had a much better camera and today was one of those. My camera didn't really do justice to the view over the fog bound city to the Southern Alps.

The first photo is of the Lyttelton side of Banks Peninsular looking down into Rapaki, one for you Raukura. On a clear day, the view is of Lyttelton, Rapaki and Diamond Harbour, a stunning sea view. The other photos are of Christchurch city under the blanket of fog, the Southern Alps rising clear though the cloud while the city remains hidden.
