Me neither Newbe! It's a wonder it didn't shake the house about but probably the wall it came through was just like matchsticks after it! ... appears she got off quite lightly otherwise!!

I have just had a link to this photo sent to me today
Apparently it was taken from High up in Lyttleton of the Earth Quake as it happened
Not sure if this is true
If this offends anyone or upsets them I will delete it

That is quite eerie Elizabeth.     

Looking at it and not knowing what it represents one could be forgiven for thinking it an interesting picture.

It's reminiscent of pictures of 9/11 though.    You can't look at it without feeling sadness for all those whose lives were changed for ever.

Noticed it was moved whilst I was posting.

Good that a link was left in its place.

I agree with you Su

How many of us stand on high ground and take photos of views
I don't know what this person would feel just at the click of the button ,what a fright they would get
