The top of the Lyttelton Timeball Station is a great place to see over Lyttelton Harbour and part of the Banks Peninsula. As well as being given a panoramic view of the harbour, you are standing on one of only 60 remaining timeball stations in the world, and the only one in New Zealand. This image was taken early in the morning on a clear day.
