I heart Lyttelton

We headed over to Lyttelton today to take some photos. For those of you who don't live in Christchurch, Lyttelton is Christchurch's harbour. It's an odd place in that it's part of the city, but also kind of a town in its own right. It's separated from Christchurch by the Port Hills, and it has a thriving artistic community, which means it's pleasantly weird. The town itself is a mix of industrial and harbour equipment and character-rich old buildings.

Here's the harbour:

And this 100-year-old cottage, which was for sale. If I had the money, I'd love to buy it and do it up ... maybe one day. When I'm a rich author (cough).
