A View from Cashel Street

I haven't taken any Christchurch rebuild/demo photos for a while.  There's a bit of action happening across the cordon, however.  Te Waipounamu House on Hereford Street is coming down quickly, with the help of Twinkle Toes munching away at it.  We reckon once it's gone the views will be wide open - Latimer Square will be visible from Colombo Street.

I find it hard to imagine living in a built up city any more.  The views around us have changed so much.  While it is sad that such destruction happened, I enjoy the openness in many ways - the warm sun hardly blocked out, no wind tunnels.  The river and the Frame promise a much prettier surround to the CBD, so I really do hope the end result will enhance the city as much as it proposes to.
