| Welcome to Christchurch... a city being reclaimed from the ruins of a major earthquake |
 |
| City of much rubble.. Barney would love it here! |
 |
| Major efforts to save some buildings |
 |
| Some look worth the effort |
 |
| This church is focusing its efforts on other things |
 |
| This is happening everywhere here |
 |
| This too... Efforts big and small |
 |
| The city that now listens |
 |
| The Plan #1 |
 |
| The Plan #2 |
 |
| The Plan #3 |
 |
| The epicenter |
 |
| Inside is an awesome hangout spot, coffee shop, performance space. The coolest use of shipping pallets I've seen. |
 |
| Shipping container mall... yes all the buildings are mobile shipping containers where rubble used to be. |
 |
| Lots of daily free performances in containerville |
 |
| Car/truck/stretch limo things everywhere |
 |
| The continual aftershocks still have some people riled up |
 |
| Old school high school campuses. Harry Potter style |
 |
| Huge park in the middle of the city with lakes, and trippy performance domes. |
 |
| My 'nice' lock. It froze up with my bike locked up while I was at a conference on consciousness... way out in the country. A little screwdriver pried my way to freedom... cool? |
 |
| Catching a ride to Dunedin on the southern coast of the south island. It's getting way rural out here. |
 |
| Dunedin takes their train stations very seriously |
 |
| Actually a lot of the buildings here 'rock' |
 |
| A rose expo is going on inside the church across the street from my hostel |
 |
| This place is huge! |
 |
| City hall by day |
 |
| And it comes alive by night! |
