A digitally manipulated image of a broken window. The photographer comments, "There is hardly anything left of Christchurch's proud heritage buildings. Most older buildings were made of brick and though they should have had improvements to make them withstand a medium earthquake most did not. They were badly damaged when hit with a series of earthquakes that were up to 2.2g at the epicentre and 1.88g in the City".
When I lived in Christchurch back in 2004-2005, this was a building I went past on the bus every day to get to and from work in the city.
After the big quake on 04/09/10 (7.1 magnitude), its been seriously damaged. As have many more of the shops in this area.
Thankfully no lives were lost in the quake, and I'm glad I wasnt there to feel it eith...
