A view after the 6.3 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch 22 February 2011. Corner of Barbadoes and Kilmore Streets. So sad to see history die - both buildings and business.

Earthquake damage. As a result of the September 2010 earthquake, with further damage from the February 2011 event.

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. Lennon/McCartney - The Beatles
