Taken soon after the 6.3 magnatude quake hit Christchurch 22 February 2011. Done in HDR to capture some of the "feeling" of what I felt.
One of the features of the West Coast forests with their extremely high rainfalls is the large quantity of moss, that serve as a background to this mushroom.
A close up of the mushroom
Shot from up Hunstbury Hill with a 600mm f/4 on a very grey morning. 8am demolition. The guy behind me only looked up when the sounds of the explosion reahed us and the building was half way down!
Taken soon after the 6.3 magnatude quake hit Christchurch 22 February 2011. A friend tried to get home when the road opened up and her 4 wheel drive went down. We could not get it out! The grey liquefaction has stuck the other car fast. It took less than an hour to grow this thick.
