I was uploading another batch of photos and decided on a whim to make
this one (which I uploaded last week) a PAW.

This photo seems to be very dependent on the monitor and viewing
conditions. The foreground is meant to be reasonably dark.
I may as well show the accompanying view north towards Lyttelton
Harbour, the shipping port of Christchurch city which they
conveniently put on the other side of the hills. I remember reading
somewhere that the settlers considered building the city around this
harbour, but somebody sensible decided that building on the plain
would be a better idea.

Lyttelton is actually a flooded volcano which is supposedly
extinct... there's a good overhead view of the peninsula here which
shows what's left of both the Lyttelton and Akaroa volcanoes.
