It's Christchurch but not as we know it

 The remains of the Roman Catholic Cathedral.
 Looking north on Columbo Street - the main road through the middle of the city, on Easter Saturday. Two months since the 6.3 magnitude aftershock. This is looking into the police cordon which still covers maybe a square km of the city centre. When the quake hit, Martin was driving through Auckland with friends from England, Donna was having lunch on 5th floor of her new office in Central Christchurch - it was to be her second full day! The first thing she saw when she got out on the street was the ruined Anglican cathedral. The car was stuck in the city for three weeks. After an enforced break of about three weeks, she's been working from home.
The old Civic Centre buildings.
