Walking around the Riverside Market I came around a corner and looked up to see this view. It is one of two murals celebrating Christchurch’s unique status as a gateway city to the Antarctic. It was produced by Oi You and designed and painted by Dcypher/XL Street Murals with help from Jacobyikes. It’s not that obvious in this photograph but it is painted across three walls which gives more of a 3D effect to the artwork. Personally as a non climber with claustrophobia this looks terrifying. Christchurch isn’t just a city with amazing murals like this and I strongly recommend a visit to Riverside Market, especially at lunchtime. It has some of the best food options I have found in the central city.
