Tautoko Christchurch

Tautoko means support in Maori.  Yesterday there was a large and shallow earthquake in Christchurch that felled many buildings, and wounded and killed many people.  All of our thoughts are with our friends and family in Christchurch.   I unfortunately don't have any photo's of Christchurch in my collection.   So I thought about the idea of support and being a world away in the UK while I was going through my photos.  I thought about hands holding you up when you can't do it for yourself which is tautoko.  This is one I took in Paris of a sculpture in the Tuileries Garden overlooking the Place de la Concorde.

Kia Kaha Christchurch.  E aroha nui atu ana ki a koutou i tēnei wā.
