10 years ago, on 22.02.2011, the Christchurch quake killed 185 people and destroyed vast parts of the inner city including the Cathedral. Whereas most of the city has been rebuilt, the cathedral still isn't finished. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Christchurch_earthquake The main photo and 1st note show the cathedral in its original state, the 2nd and 3rd note were taken 9 months after the quake when the CBD still was a red zone. Vor genau 10 Jahren, am 22.02.2011, kostete das Erdbeben von Christchurch 185 Menschenleben und zerstörte weite Teile der Innenstadt einschließlich der Kathedrale. Während das Stadtzentrum weitgehend wiederaufgebaut ist, ist die Kathedrale noch immer nicht ganz wiederhergestellt. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchurch-Erdbeben_vom_Februar_2011 Das Hauptfoto und 1.PiP zeigen die Kathedrale im früheren Zustand, 2. und 3. PiP sind 9 Monate nach dem Beben entstanden, als die Innenstadt noch als rote Zone abgesperrt war.

The devastating Febr. 2011 quake and various aftershocks had flattened vast parts of Christchurch's City Centre. In late 2012 much of it was still in the Red Zone and fenced off. The collapsed spire of the Cathedral had been demolished and a debate about what to do with the church had started. Only in late 2017 a decision was reached to rebuild the Cathedral, with a narrow majority of 55%. HFF, folks!

This historic wooden lighthouse used to be on Akaroa Head from 1880 to 1977. In 1980 it was moved to its present location in Akaroa township by the Akaroa Lighthouse Preservation Society. www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/canterbury/places/banks-peninsula-area/historic-akaroa-head Deutsch: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akaroa_Lighthouse HFF everybody!
