A small part of the crowd on the way into the square via the fenced-off walkway. In parts the crowd was much denser, leading me to wonder what would happen if there was a large aftershock while we were in there.
Detail of the cathedral. This end looked quite solid from the side we were allowed to view from - until I zoomed in and realised that you could see right through to the buildings on the other side of the tower.
On the way back I lifted my camera up above the fence and took this shot of a parking sign standing in the middle of rubble. I think it will be a while before anyone parks here, whether for five minutes or longer...
Also behind the fences, a bollard with posters from before the earthquake, gradually peeling away to reveal the layers underneath.

Very very sad. I am coming to Christchurch in the (school) holidays to see family members - my first visit since the quakes. I know it's going to be hard to see what little remains of my old school, my old university, and especially the Cathedral.
