Excellent photos Hugh! Thanks for sharing!

Nice shots.

Nice, Hugh !

Good stuff Hugh, and that's a very 'neat and tidy' crater !

Gnomey · Mar 6, 2016

Yeah its a perfect crater which is pretty cool.

Next set moving to the South Island, starting with Christchurch itself. This is where I was based for my elective.

First set covering some of the earthquake damage to the cathedral from the big quake in February 2011. More information here: www.rebuildchristchurch.co.nz

Nice shots Hugh.
A darned shame that such buildings are so badly damaged. Hopefully, they can be repaired (and strengthened ?) before the next quake.

Wayne Little · Mar 8, 2016

Excellent pics Hugh.

Shinpachi · Mar 8, 2016

Nice shots, Hugh.
The earthquake is like a sudden air raid for the Pacific islanders.

Great shots Hugh, we are very familiar with earthquakes here

Wayne Little · Mar 10, 2016

We don't have any serious sh!t down here.....boring huh....

Gnomey · Mar 11, 2016

There are plans to restore and strengthen the buildings but it is taking time. Particularly trying to maintain the original look of the buildings whilst still strengthening them.

Next set, more earthquake damage showing the evidence of the new lack of high rise buildings in the centre of town and the famous container mall built to replace some of the shopping centres...

5 years may be too short to recover fully but I remember I found great hope for the future when I saw a lot of brilliant young people walking cheerfully in the destroyed town of Kobe a few weeks after the massive earthquake hit in 1995. It was a flashback of 1945 to me. Nice shots

Nice photos Hugh, thank you for sharing them.

Gnomey · Mar 13, 2016

Cheers guys, few more of the damage. These ones from the earthquake museum, including some of the innovative innovations used in the aftermath...

Wayne Little · Mar 14, 2016

great shots Hugh.

Shinpachi · Mar 14, 2016

Wurger · Mar 14, 2016

Agreed.
