We went to visit my mother last week and I took my camera this time. Her neighbourhood was affected quite badly by liquefaction. Not as badly as the eastern suburbs but it still wasn't too good for the houses.
She's in #4 of a block of four flats. The two at the front will probably have to be demolished and #3 is unsure. Her place is still quite good and she's able to live there, but she's waiting to see what the assessors say. On the way back we had another look at the Catholic cathedral. The big copper dome was due to be lifted off in one piece just as the aftershocks in June. As it had sustained further damage and was less stable they decided to disassemble it instead. http://www.multi.net.nz/earthquake-july/ Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
