Thinking of Christchurch

I've just spent a reasonable amount of time reading about the most recent earthquake in Christchurch, NZ. My heart goes out to the people of this lovely city.
We spent a few days in Christchurch on our honeymoon at the start of 2010. We thought it was a beautiful city and found the people very friendly. It has brought tears to my eyes seeing the images of the distraught people and the damaged areas of the city. The images of the cathedral in particular are sticking with me - it was a beautiful old cathedral and looks so unlike itself without its spire. Nature can be truly terrifying!
This is how I remember Christchurch

We have all seen the images that are coming  out of Christchurch at the moment.

To those people who have lost loved ones in this natural disaster, there are a lot of people keeping you all in their thoughts.
Let's hope that there are no more aftershocks, no more lives are lost, no more damage is done.
