Giant climbing frame....

Ella and I spent this afternoon with her cousins out in the Botanical Gardens and the Museum today.
She wanted to catch up with the boys and I suggested we went there as the three of them always love it at these places.

We parked near the Art Center, and took this shot.
It is under major repairs, from EQ damage, and has been for quite a few months. All of the scaffolding around the beautiful old buildings that make up the Art Center reminds me of some sort of giant climbing frame. It must be one of the biggest set-up of scaffolds in Chch at the moment. And there are ALOT of scaffoldings up around town..almost everywhere you look you will see some.

The Art Center used to be such a vibrant place with weekend markets and cafes, I wonder if it will ever be the same again...I hope so.
