We went for a walk today around some
areas of the Christchurch CBD which were damaged in the 2012
earthquake. What I mean is, we went for a walk today around the
Christchurch CBD which was almost completely destroyed in the 2012
earthquake. That second version still doesn't exemplify the huge
looses of buildings or sound remotely as graphic as the destruction
that we saw. So instead, here a few photos.

| End of Cashel Street Mall looking in to what used to be the CBD packed with tall office buildings, malls and businesses. Thats Phil standing in the middle of the photo. |
 |
| An old theatre just south of the CBD. Up close you can see the intricate carvings and masonry of the ceilings and walls. |
 |
| A very familiar street scene. |
 |
| A deserted mall. Many of the shops still had everything in them - food, clothes, coffee cups on the tables. There was a hairdressers which even had all of the scissors and utensils on the counters. |
 |
| Christ Church Cathedral waiting repairs. Once the premier landmark of the city. |
 |
| Nature is reclaiming what we can no longer use. |
