Google's satellite imaging partner, GeoEye, has taken new pictures of Christchurch, putting a new perspective on the damage caused by the Tuesday, February 22 earthquake.
The satellite photos were taken on Thursday, February 24th from the GeoEye-1 satellite.
Some parts of the city are covered in clouds, but substantial portions of the central business district are clearly visible.
