Chasing the sun in a Holden Equinox

Boarded up houses sit on stilts on an expansive vacant lot somewhere deep in Christchurch’s outer reaches. It looks like a used car yard, but with houses. You can buy an entire house off the lot, have it delivered to your block of land, and set up home. While it sounds practical, the lot actually serves as a stark reminder of Christchurch’s recent cataclysmic past, the twin earthquakes that rocked the small city on the South Island of New Zealand in 2010-11.
