Christchurch Earthquake - When the Bricks are Down

Images, eqnz.chch.2010

A view after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch 04 September 2010. Victoria Street. So sad to see history die - both buildings and business. Given a bit of a HDR process to add some of what I was "feeling" at the time.

No Scaffolding Now

On a walk over to Hagley Park to great some shots of the wonderful Cherry Blossom I past by the Knox Church rebuild and found that the scaffolding has come down at last. It sure was shinning in the midday light. Victoria Street September 12, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand

The statue of Captain Cook looks over an empty Victoria Square with autumn leaves lying around. This used to be a very tidy and busy area, but is now nearly all fenced off. Pedestrian access to this section was established about five or six months ago.

Chandelier rescue

Demolition of Robertson's Bakery building, Victoria Street, Christchurch. The Chandelier rescue ... Walking into work I saw the building I always wanted to buy (and run as a bookshop, perfumery, shoe shop) - the old Robertson's Bakery getting demolished. But the bigass digger gently reached into the wreckage and saved this chandelier, bringing...

Christchurch Earthquake - Coming Down

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.

20130511_1538_EOS M-22 The Last National Bank?

Images, eqnz.chch.2010

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...
