Christchurch New Zealand the Garden City

A woman walks through Cathedral Square past the Christchurch Cathedral in Christchurch, New Zealand's city centre.

Following the devastating 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, Mayor Bob Parker said, "We are not going to walk away from this place."
I was reminded of my trip to New Zealand 10 years ago and the remarkable beauty of the city. Here are a few photos from that trip. I shall always fondly remember my time there and will keep the people of that city in my thoughts and prayers.
