Christchurch Rebuild but first demolish

These are some incredible photos of Christchurch as the demolition continues in the central city.  https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2FRossBeckerNZ%2FChristchurchJuly7DiggersDemolitionInTheCBDRedZone&h=gAQBuqynz

The photographer, Ross, is involved in the project to capture the history as it happens.  Not only are there the photographic memories being captured, but people’s stories are also being collected in a number of ways.   Canterbury University is doing a great job of leading some of this.    One of the best things to come out of the earthquake is the levels of collaboration and bringing the communities together – whether it is physical communities or communities of people with the same interests.   There’s also a big group of people who are looking to rebuild the gardens, bringing back the Garden of the Garden City.    All very worthwhile projects and hopefully ones that will flourish.
