A photograph of Anderson and Hill Sports Power on the corner of St Asaph and Colombo Streets. Wire fences have been placed across the street as a cordon. In the background, rubble from earthquake-damaged buildings and crushed cars line the left side of the road. There is also foliage from a fallen tree.
There are occasional sewerage spills into the Avon River while all the sewer and road repairs are carried out. This rock wall was level and well above high tide level prior to the eathquakes. All the houses that can been seen here (except for those on the distant Port Hills) are in the suburban "red zone" and are still to be demolished.
A man has climbed an active volcano and pitched a tent in order to get away from the Canterbury earthquake and the flooding in the lower North Island. Refers to the Christchurch earthquake of 4th September 2010 as well as the heavy rain, slips, and flooding from Whanganui in the centre of the North Island down to the Rimutaka Hill Road, North of Wellington.
