Christchurch

source EDITED 1/9/11 to link to a home town party over at centsational girl. this is a picture of the Catheral at the heart of my hometown of Christchurch New Zealand. On Feb 22nd this year, my city suffered a devasting earthquake that took the best part of 200 lives and destroyed alot of the historic building, including this beautiful Catheral. It is now being propped up by scaffolding and has lost most its spire and roof. Below is a video i found which shows my town in all her glory before the quakes.

Hi Rach i spent 3 months travelling around New Zealand a few years ago. I just loved it and it is not suprising i settled in the west of Ireland as it is quite similar. I believe re-building work is starting soon fingers crossed. x
