@gerry13 In 2011 there was a huge earthquake in Christchurch where 185 people died and many inner city (often historic) buildings were irreparably damaged and had to be pulled down (if they hadn't already fallen down). For many years the cityscape looked like a war zone. The city is now recovering and there are many memorial spots like these stones to recognise the event. I was there a couple of weeks before the earthquake and have returned a few times since. The city is now in recovery mode and its lovely to see all the beautiful street art
@brigette i just googled about it,i didn't know christchurch is located in new Zealand.wow tragic history,i know earthquakes are terrifying as i have experienced a few myself.Glad to hear the city is being rebuilt and memorizing this event.Thank you for the info :)
