But I absolutely love this. I’d seen the blurb but had no idea how big it actually was! Colombo St in Sydenham just past the overbridge. Photo taken from the bus! Hence the strange reflections.
ETA: I don’t know who’s planted sunflowers in the site of the demolished former factory in Woolston, but whoever you are, you are awesome.

Sydenham loses its last remaining character building - the former Post Office.

I'm not taking the side of the insurance companies...but without the reinsurers, we'd all be uninsured now. We do need them. I can understand our officials being keen to keep them onside.

Maybe if we’re all very, very very good…..
Well Gerry would say that.
He could lead by example....

As someone who lost her front teeth at age 11 to the edge of an old-style trampoline with no safety mats, I feel no nostalgia for the old days :-)

Hard News: Nobody wanted #EQNZ for Christmas, in reply to Hebe,
We divested financially after Feb. as the reports all provided a concensus in findings . As a couple we have seen the main reports that were released and discussed them in depth, they all have a similar theme, regular six EQs will likely occur for approx. five years with increased activity for twenty-thirty years.
We have this built into our expectations and considered carefully before deciding to stay . To keep people positive it appears the media have been asked not to disclose or are not aware of the reports commissioned?
The bank economist comments make me wonder if the embargo of non disclosure to the masses is starting to break.
This is interesting, but it’s hearsay. It’s an unknown commenter of unknown background summarising something they say they’ve read. And I’m confused when they talk about “reports released” but then it sounds like they mean “not to the public”. It sounds like conspiracy-talk to me.
AFAIK all predictions for seismic activity for the next few years are based on statistical modelling which is based on inadequate data. Humans just haven’t been here long enough.

Joe, or anyone, do you know if the beaches are OK for swimming? I know they were Ok before Friday, but not sure about now...
-
Thanks Chris. But wait, there's an other thing??
BTW Joe, I loved your photo of Peacock's Gallop back a ways. That cliff used to be so beautiful: all those textures and plants (and birds). Now it's so raw, and sheer.
-
Joe, this is amazing, I've never seen anything like it. A lot of haunting images in there (no pun intended!)

Capture: City Scenes, in reply to ChrisW,
you good Christchurch people
One does wonder if someone in Chch has done something really smiteworthy. I mean, this is getting ridiculous.
