Stone By Precious Stone

A protest sign painted on a fence shows an image of the cathedral spire and the words "Save + restore, stone by precious stone!" The photographer comments, "The Christchurch Cathedral got very badly damaged in the earthquake. It was being demolished down to a safe level before a major protest managed to stop it going too far. There is still an ongoing debate on what to do with the Cathedral. In the meantime a cardboard cathedral made out of a steel framework and massive toilet roll tubes is being constructed close by. This is to the right of the protest about the closure of Christchurch schools".

A poem written on Gap Filler and Poetica's "Instant Poetry" wall on Colombo Street. The poem reads, "A city's more than buildings, and a city's more than steeples. A city's a population, family, friends and people. I will come back, to my English rose".
