Christchurch walk, a poignant evening

This is a bombardment of photos of Christchurch.   Lazy blogging, but then again, a picture tells so much, a thousand words don't they say?

Rebuilding the Oxford strip, near the restart mall.

Looking down the restart mall towards Ballantynes

Cranes, so many cranes, so much a part of the Christchurch skyline

Symbolic that the suffragette statue is still behind barriers?

But it all depends on your perspective I guess.  Poking camera lens through wire...

The floral clock is back, but not working.  Neither is the sprinkler system around it that used to go off if you got too close.   Great fun at 3am after a night out, believe me...

There used to be a fancy hotel in that gap...

This isn't tagging.  This is the system the USAR teams used to identify that the buildings had been checked.
