The magnitude 7.1 Christchurch earthquake broke off an enormous chunk of Castle Rock in the Port Hills which has tumbled down towards the Lyttelton tunnel.
View from Morgan's Valley (-43.578037° 172.714828°).
Can't believe how much of this rock fell off! Its looks totally different - no longer a castle. Sad but very glad that the huge rock did not hit anything on the way down!

The cartoon shows the name 'Christchurch' shaking so that bits fly off it; the letters 'H', 'I', and 'T' spelling 'hit' are the only ones not shaking. A second version has the words 'Rock'n Roll' as a title. Refers to the earthquake of 4th September 2010 and its hundreds of aftershocks which continue on now into November.
Two versions of this cartoon are available
