I had just started looking at pictures of cathedrals and figured out quite a few that it wasn't. Then came the rather helpful reference from a stout fellow. Than I was as stuck as that cat to that mouse in that tube of that Christchurch organ.

The first clues were the flying buttresses and the cars driving on the left. Narrowed it down considerably. Very few Romanesque/Gothic cathedrals in South Africa and India.

And it was certainly not in the Kamchatka Peninsula, either.

if it where I think it is, I visited it in 2004 on the way to The Routeburn. The quake was Feb 2011. I think it unrepairable so will be torn down the rest of the way.
I may be wrong. Wonder if part of the cathedral design is a rubber stamp and CXV 115 is somewhere else? The origins of Christchurch Cathedral date back to the plans of the Canterbury Association who aimed to build a city around a central cathedral and college in the Canterbury Region based on the English model of Christ Church, Oxford.
