Slowly but surely, a little more of the cbd opening up again. Access now opened to the public into a small part of Cathedral Square during daylight hours.

Here's some shots I took last week. Heartbreaking. Still going to be years before this area looks anything but a warzone.

Thanks for posting the shots of Christchurch. Looks like things are very much on the way back to normal.

What will be the fate of the two cathedrals? Will be rebuilt? I mean the main cathedral and the Blessed Sacrament cathedral

I compared my photos to that of my mums a few years earlier and was amazed at how little was left

A selection of Adelaide photos from the amazing blog 'Robert's Ramblings'. I urge everyone who enjoys these images to visit Robert's blog and peruse the other 600 or so photos (although most are not of the urban context).
