Riccarton House

After doing all my jobs today, I decided to stop off at Riccarton Bush, to have a walk around one of my favourite areas. The trees are all ready shedding some of their leaves, and there was quite a golden carpet under foot.
Riccarton House was damaged again in the most recent earthquake, but it is mainly to the inside and the east side. I could see the large cracks in the ground following along the river.
This photo I took from Deans Cottage from just inside the door looking towards Riccarton House.
