Looking across to the Town Hall. Will it stay or will it go?
Earthquake damage. As a result of the September 2010 earthquake, with further damage from the February 2011 event.

Another city walk around, this time with my brother-in-law from Auckland. Also went to the Quake City exhibition in the city organised by the Canterbury Museum. First fine day for a while.

Verandah roof of former Central Library on left. Rubble is from the former Farmers building and carpark.
Went into this cafe a few times in years gone by (all on camera club field trips or photowalks). It was a nice two-storey building then. Not now after the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011.
Earthquake damage. As a result of the September 2010 earthquake, with further damage from the February 2011 event.
