Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "The city blocks encompassed by Manchester, Gloucester, Latimer Square and Hereford Streets are amongst those with the most demolished buildings in the city centre at the moment".
Spray-painted writing on the side of a car parking building reads "0 cars". The photographer comments, "Strangely and appropriately this graffiti was on a car park. In fact the graffiti was 100% correct as the car park is in the Christchurch earthquake red zone and there should be zero cars now inside it. It may have been put on by an anti car protester or just an indication that the car park is empty. One of the suggestions for the City plan for the rebuilt Christchurch was for a pedestrian and cycle only area, which also fits in with 0 CARS".
