Sunday after church I meet up with Melissa and Michaela and together we headed down to Christchurch to explore the Botanical Gardens. Only a few blocks away is the CBD - fenced off and deserted. We joined the locals and other tourists in staring through the wire fences into the mess of rubble and leaning buildings with tables and chairs all set up ready for business. Other than some clean up everything has been left from when the CBD was evacuated on February 22. Such a beautiful city lies in ruins.

flowers and cut out hearts hang from the fences |
 |
staring and thinking |
 |
looking toward the Cathedral |
 |
empty street after empty street after empty street |
 |
church after church - building after building - crumbled to rubble |
