A bit of the now demolished QEII (Queen Elizabeth II) Park running track in the "Gap Filler" on the old Deka site in New Brighton (last occupied by a charity barn before a major fire and subsequent demolition).
Full of weeds after nearly two years of neglect. First time I have been in Victoria Square in over two years.
A week ago this building was intact, now partially demolished. Will be an empty site in a week or two.

Strange sign when the building it refers to is no longer there. Earthquake damage.
Growing in a red zone vacant section in Wetlands Grove, Pacific Park.

There is some beauty in the desolate and near empty Dallington Red Zone.
The seismic survey truck T-Rex (from University of Texas) was in Bexley and Pacific Park a few days ago and may have left this calling card on the front lawn of my old "red zone" house. Obviously the geotechs will know what it means.

The Mack tractor unit with "half a house" ready to depart in the middle of the night, when the roads are quiet. But where is this house heading too?
