Knox Church rebuild on a walk around my neighbourhood September 9, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand.
Demolition underway on a walk around the city to catch up on events happening June 25, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand.
It's five years since the earthquake, and for the first time I feel a sense that the rebuild is taking effect.
In this photo - the left hand building is on the way up, and the right hand building is on the way down.
I think all the National Banks in the country have been either closed or rebranded ANZ, but this one on the corner of Colombo and Armagh Streets is still inside the CBD red zone and has yet to be touched. I have heard that this building is staying so whether it becomes an ANZ or not time will tell.
This was one of the top five busiest pedest...
The damaged (and once iconic Christchurch Cathedral) waits it's fate (repaired or demolish/rebuild) with the Millenium hotel in background.

A view that was impossible six years ago. There was a group of buildings including another high-rise in the vacant area in the middle ground.

Only two of 20 houses left in the Rawhiti Earthquake Village.
This from the sign on perimeter fence:
"Since 2011, Rawhiti Domain has been used to provide temporary accommodation for those affected by the Canterbury earthquakes.
Over 200 households have used the 20 houses while their own homes have been repaired or rebuilt. The demand for acco...

Another city walk around, this time with my brother-in-law from Auckland. Also went to the Quake City exhibition in the city organised by the Canterbury Museum. First fine day for a while.
Cashel Mall/Cashel Street
The Cathedral
More well known as the Government Life building - too be demolished.
19 Velsheda Street, Pacific Park, Bexley is about to be trucked out.
From Colombo Street intersection.
With the land dropping about 1metre to 1.4metres after the earthquakes, a few roads besides the Avon and Heathcote Rivers are flooded with very high tides. Extra stop banks (on right) erected after the quakes have helped, but the road is now well below high water level.
New Brighton Road, just short of New Brighton. The Pages Road bridge may b...
The base of the tower on the right of this picture has sunk about 25cm so that the lower course of bricks have disappeared below ground level. Meanwhile the other end of the building has sunk about 50cm splitting the building into thirds. The sand you can see is what came bubbling up out of the ground due to liquifaction. Unfortunately the build...

A view after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch.
Victoria Street. So sad to see history die - both buildings and business. Sign on the back wall says, "You gotta be there Christchurch" - sadly ironic!
Given a bit of a HDR process to add some of what I was "feeling" at the time.
