Photo Hunt 2017: Plains, Port Hills & Peninsula - Finding our way

This year the theme for Photo Hunt is Plains, Port Hills & Peninsula - Finding our way. However, the photos you submit are not limited to this theme. We invite you to share any of your photos and help grow the city's photographic archive. All entries must be received by 31 October.

Christchurch City Libraries has produced a set of four postcards promoting the competition which are available from your local library. Each week during October we'll be featuring one of the postcard images on our blog.

Unknown group hang-gliding on Port Hills.  We were passing by and saw them.  It was a relatively new sight in Christchurch in 1976.
