I live in Christchurch which is the largest city in the South Island of NZ.
The square with the cathedral is the heart of the city
The River Avon runs right through the center of the city, and it starts as a small stream 100 metres from my house
A bit smoggy cause I assume this was taken in winter, in the distance you can see the mountain range called the Southern Alps. Thats where Peter Jackson filmed parts of the Lord of the Rings trilogy
