Report - Christchurch NZ. City Centre Cordon after Earthquake.

[olighost]

I was living in the city centre of Christchurch NZ when the february 2011 earthquake struck. After the quake they cordoned off the entire city centre and had high security controlling access. Here is the south and west cordon (north and east had very limited access) taken at night as is my usual style.

Please visit full album if interested I didn't want to overdo the report with loads of photos on here.

Thanks for looking! The city is still under major reconstruction, the effects are bigger than portrayed and obviously harder to imagine for people not living there.
