Views of Christchurch from Above

 

The Port Hills surround Christchurch to the South and separate Christchurch from Lyttleton Harbour. These pictures were taken from atop some of the Port Hills and are overlooking Christchurch.

This map is to remind you of the area surrounding Christchurch. The Port Hills extend all along the northern border of Lyttleton Harbour.The pictures to the right were taken from Summit Road. For those of you who have looked at the Church Bay pictures, Church Bay is located between Governors Bay and Diamond Harbour.
These pictures give you a better idea of the size of Christchurch. The middle picture looks directly northward from the Port Hills, while the picture on the left is to the east and looks out over New Brighton to the Pacific Ocean. As my boss put it, if you start sailing east of here, the next land you will reach is Chile. Interesting perspective.
