Another empty Red Zone section. Avonside Drive, Dallington.
The result of the magnitude 7.1 Christchurch earthquake at 4.35am on September 4th 2010.
Taken from Dallington Terrace looking towards Avonside Drive. Notice how the riverbank has slumped - at high tide the tree is now surrounded by water.

A house, one of the few still remaining in the Dallington Red Zone (Avonside Drive, Dallington). The area is "red zoned" due to land damage from earthquakes (mainly the February 22nd 2011 6.4 magnitude quake).
The result of the magnitude 7.1 Christchurch earthquake at 4.35am on September 4th 2010.
Taken from Dallington Terrace looking towards Avonside Drive. This pumping station used to be level. When the tide is in that flax bush on the bend appears to be growing from the middle of the river, suggesting the land has slumped about a meter.
There is some beauty in the desolate and near empty Dallington Red Zone.
