Children building a snowman

17 August 2011

Portrait of two children standing with a snowman near True Jesus Church at Addington.

Contributors note: "Location - True Jesus Church, Christchurch. Address - 7 Whiteleigh Avenue, Addington, Christchurch. Date - 17 August 2011. Our family travelled from Japan to visit Christchurch to check out the prospect of migration to New Zealand. We arrived to be greeted by great snow storm. Our travel plans were cancelled due to road closures and we were grateful that True Jesus Church hosted us and we are able to stay at church for a couple of days during our visit. Playing with snow at church compound. We did not have gloves so we improvised."
