A sobering day in Christchurch

Double delight in the rose garden

Elephants legs?

Closed off section of the city centre


More closed off streets
The 'container' shops
Container coffee shop


After the two recent earthquakes the city centre is still struggling to get back on its feet. Over half the city centre is destroyed, but some places such as the botanic gardens are wonderfuly serene. The 'show must go on' attitude had led to an innovative 'container village' popping up as high rises are pulled down.
