The farmer swore that his fence was erected in a straingt line, but mother nature had other ideas!
Aftermath of the Saturday 4 September 2010 magnitude 7.1 earthquake at the previously unknown faultline along which the quake originated.
One print on paper of an artwork titled "There Came a Day" featuring the text "There came a day, the earth did say, I've had enough, of this fault's fray, so up it lift, a Christchurch rift, a seven point one, of rattle and tip, still here we are, too strong to split" in white and red ink on a black background.
The farmer swore that his fence and hedge were in a straingt line, but mother nature had other ideas!
Aftermath of the Saturday 4 September 2010 magnitude 7.1 earthquake at the previously unknown faultline along which the quake originated.
The ground slipped laterally at this previously unknown faultline across Highfield Road in mid-Canterbury, resulting in a relative displacement of at least 2 metres and the magnitude 7.1 earthquake on Saturday 4 September 2010. Note the now misaligned fence posts, hedge and road.
Text reads 'One of the many faces of Mother Nature' and the cartoon shows a moon with a seismic graph across it that has taken on the shape of a face. A second version does not have the moon and a third version has the face say 'I have a few faults'. Context - The Christchurch earthquakes.

It's been a busy few weeks! Was away on geology fieldtrips all the previous two weeks, then on Saturday morning 4th September 2010 at 4.35 am we got woken in Westport to a reasonable but very long earthquake. My husband was back in Christchurch at the time and texted me saying "are you ok?". I replied, "yes!"...
Text reads 'New fault lines?' and the cartoon depicts a Star of David as cracks in the ground. A second version has the text 'Aftershocks' and the cartoon depicts a shaky Star of David and big movements on a seismograph. The third version depicts the same image as the first but has the text 'SISpicious cracks'. Context: The Southland Times reported on 20th July that an Israeli national killed in the February Christchurch Earthquake was a Mossad spy. PM John Key has confirmed that an investigation into the four Israelis involved was carried out by police and the SIS but he said no evidence was found of a link between the group and Israeli intelligence. It would seem that the group were backpackers, not Mossad agents.
