Life's a Beach

Brighton Beach, Christchurch, 2008 Ajr.

I have an American friend who lives at New Brighton, here in Christchurch. He frequents the beach – mostly because after living here for well over a decade, he still can’t get over the fact that he has this huge, pristine stretch of white sandy beach – virtually empty of other people – right on his doorstep. I guess we New Zealanders are lucky that way.
