My weekly work around our broken city to catch up on what is happening! Sunday May 27, 2012, Chirstchruch NZ.
The February 2011 Christchurch earthquake was a powerful natural event that severely damaged New Zealand's second-largest city, killing 185 people in one of the nation's deadliest peacetime disasters.
The magnitude 6.3 (ML) earthquake struck the Canterbury region in New Zealand's South Island at 12:51 pm on Tuesday, 22 February 2011 local time (23:51 21 February UTC). The earthquake was centred 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the town of Lyttelton, and 10 kilometres (6 mi) south-east of the centre of Christchurch, New Zealand's second-most populous city. It followed nearly six months after the magnitude 7.1 Canterbury earthquake of 4 September 2010, which caused significant damage to Christchurch and the central Canterbury region, but no direct fatalities.
The earthquake caused widespread damage across Christchurch, especially in the central city and eastern suburbs, with damage exacerbated by buildings and infrastructure already being weakened by the 4 September 2010 earthquake and its aftershocks. Significant liquefaction affected the eastern suburbs, producing around 400,000 tonnes of silt. The earthquake was reported to be felt across the South Island and the lower and central North Island.
In total, 185 people were killed in the earthquake, making it the second-deadliest natural disaster recorded in New Zealand (after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake), and fourth-deadliest disaster of any kind recorded in New Zealand, with nationals from more than 20 countries among the victims. Over half of the deaths occurred in the six-storey Canterbury Television (CTV) Building, which collapsed and caught fire in the quake. The government declared a state of national emergency, which stayed in force until 30 April 2011.
The total cost to insurers of rebuilding has been estimated at NZ$20–30 billion, making it by far New Zealand's costliest natural disaster, and the third-costliest earthquake (nominally) worldwide.
The earthquake has been the most damaging in a year-long earthquake swarm affecting the Christchurch area. It has been followed by a large aftershock on 13 June (which caused considerable additional damage) and a series of large shocks on 23 December 2011.

A closeup of my Topolino rear wheel. The spoke broke 150 miles into the Mt. Tam Double Century and almost gave me my first DNF. I Took this (bad) picture just before sending the wheel back to Topolino
Lone Star beer is the Texas made cheap beer of pride and this is a cool vintage reproduction of the logo.
For Obscura Day, it was a trip to Fermilab, the geek Mecca in Batavia, Illinois.
Broken Symmetry, on the Pine Street Entrance. It's a three-span arch, painted black on one side and orange on the other.
Fermilab has decided to ban photography groups from taking tours. To quote Katie Yurkewicz, the Fermi PR person
"Our tour program is not designed to accommodate groups whose primary interest is photography. We are not resourced to be able to regularly guide such tours safely."
Last night Mary and I went to take night shots, only problem was that San Francisco was under a super thick layer of fog so it was quite difficult to find a spot. We first tried Baker beach and China beach from which you couldn't even see the bridge... at all! So after that we headed to crissy field, where we found this old broken pier. :))
When we come to Christ in our brokenness, He makes us whole.

What Sakura is standing on there is my laptop, that was broken. I think I am cursed to break things! I've had it fixed since then but it took ages (I went on holiday and wrong numbers etc).
I'm annoyed with myself that I break expensive stuff easily, and I've recently broken my camera too! But I can still take photos, just can't see them till I upload them or change settings *sigh*
