20100913_3424_1D3-400 Castle Rock The damage to Castle Rock, overlooking the Heathcote Valley from the 7.1 earthquake on September 4th. #385
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!
