On the other hand, there are some very beautiful buildings in Christchurch. We had a dusting of snow at the end of June and I went out to snap photos. Here's what I think is the best one. This sculpture is by the cathedral at the center of the city. Queen Victoria declared that Christchurch be a city in the 1850s so that the good people of the Canterbury plains could build a cathedral. As all the tourist literature says, one can't have a cathedral without a city. Christchurch was the first city incorporated in the New Zealand.
