Iceskater jumping. Entry by Barbara Newcombe in the 2019 Christchurch City Libraries Photo Hunt. (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). CCL-PH19-0304.

Contributor says: Photo taken by my father Peter Basire ( a photographer) from his collection of Lake Lyndon or Lake Ida. Circa 1954.

An unique action photo taken of skater jumping over 2 other skaters crouched on the ice. Highly commended in the 2019 Christchurch City Libraries Photo Hunt.
