Christchurch CBD earthquake rebuild lit in the last fading golden glow of the day - taken with 70-200 F4 IS from Mt Pleasant. I count at least three big cranes!

Another hole has appeared in the street where a building has been demolished. Selwyn Dealers next door sensibly moved all their stock away from the adjoining wall just in case.
A sight becoming more common in post-earthquake Christchurch - lifting earthquake-affected buildings to allow their foundations to be replaced and or completely replaced.
Much of the CBD will be cordoned off and without power (as you should be able to spot) for quite some time as a result of the damage caused by February's deadly earthquake.

Full of weeds after nearly two years of neglect. First time I have been in Victoria Square in over two years.

A view after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch. Corner of Colombo and Byron Streets. Given a bit of a HDR process to add some of what I was "feeling" at the time. Image featured on: www.lakewanaka.co.nz/new-zealand/Take-a-break-f...

A couple of city blocks away from the now damaged Cathedral a temporary $4million cathedral has been built using large cardboard tubes and sheeting.
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.
Built 1858-1865. This is just one end of what was once a very large building. Most of the rest has fallen.
Oxford Terrace Baptist Church from the car park. Madras Street is the other side of the building, the Central Fire Station is behind me.
Photo taken Jan 2011 as the church is demolished. The next day the stain glass window at the far end was removed and saved.

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...
