"The CARDBOARD CATHEDRAL'S triangular window design includes 49, 1.2 metre tall panels and incorporates images from Christchurch Cathedral's original rose window.
Each image comes from the same position as on the rose window. The triangular panels in the middle of the new stained-glass window use images from the centre circle of the rose window, while the remaining panels use images from the outside circle.
The building has become an important symbol of recovery and hope for the city."
In the left window you can see some giraffes. These are part of the 'Christchurch Stands Tall" project. The giant fibreglass giraffes are all over the city - 49 large (2.5 metres), and 50 smaller ones. Designs were submitted by local artists and schools and they will be auctioned at the end of this month with the proceeds going to local charities. I will post a photo of some of them later :)
