Beneath the cherry blossoms

Two people standing beneath cherry trees in blossom.

Contributors note: "This photograph was taken during the cherry blossom season in Christchurch. It captures two Malaysian Chinese visitors enjoying the seasonal bloom and taking photos under the trees. This scene highlights how public spaces in Ōtautahi-Christchurch bring together people from diverse backgrounds, reflecting the evolving nature of our community and city life."
