Christchurch Basilica

This isn't the best pic I took today but it shows the damage to our Catholic Cathedral, and the containers with straw bale buffers which attempt to save it from further devastation.

I'm no engineer and perhaps I lack imagination but I can't for the life of me see how this can be repaired, even with all the money in the world.

It's a huge shame to see a beautiful building, which means so much to so many, in such a state... Well, the rest, I said yesterday...

I'm glad to have a photographic record of it, and look forward to the new Christchurch
