Walking back down the Bridle path

2010s

My partner and I have arrived in New Zealand on a working holiday visa from Scotland. we took a trip up the Christchurch gondola and walked back down the Bridle path. I took the photo as I thought the scenery was exquisite. I loved how the big boulders sat on top of the hill worked so well with the picturesque landscape background of beautifully light blue waters and amazingly green hills, showing the true beauty of Christchurch.
