Winning entry in the Places category of the 2015 Christchurch City Libraries Photo Hunt.


Judges' Comments: "This early photo ... shows how suburban Christchurch has changed in 90 years. Loved the clear detail and aerial view complete with car."
"... The height and angle of the crossroads with the single car approaching the corner makes it a very interesting composition...."
