Snow on trees beside the Avon River on Cambridge Terrace.
Contributor's note: "Taken from 4th floor of the old Christchurch Central Police Station. The tree is on the river bank on the corner of Cambridge / Hereford just at the edge of the bridge. Two cranes visible, as the tearing down of Christchurch has begun. It was "Beauty in Chaos"."
