The Sumner cliffs photographed from the South Brighton spit. Shipping containers can be seen along Main Road to protect passing cars from rock fall.
Looking across the mouth of the estuary to the Sumner cliffs. Shipping containers can be seen along Main Road, protecting passing cars from rock fall.
A temporary road sign indicates that the speed limit is 10 km/h along Rocking Horse Road in Southshore, due to the uneven surface of the road.

A line of shipping containers along the base of the cliffs in Sumner protects the road from rockfalls. In the foreground on the right is what remains of Shag Rock.
A rubbish truck collects rubbish from the red bins along Rocking Horse Road in Southshore. The uneven surface of the road can be seen, with water pooling in the foreground.
An aerial photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "The RSA (red roof and three skylights) and electrical substation (red front with the door open) very badly damaged by the rock falls".
A digitally manipulated image of the head of a digger resting on a pile of soil. The photographer comments, "You can go anywhere you like when you are a rock star".
What more can one say except that Shag Rock is now about one third it's original height. Whitewash Head in the background with the road that now drops over a cliff.
Boarded-up broken windows on the old Christchurch City Council building in Tuam Street. The photographer comments, "What can happen to a building when the land is no longer solid as a rock".
Two workers inspect fuses placed in an embankment during reinforcement work. The photographer comments, "This is the reinforcing of an embankment in the port of Lyttelton, which partly collapsed in the Christchurch earthquakes. They are using the same equipment as used for blowing up rock faces to mend them".
A painting wrapped around the side of one of the shipping containers in Sumner. Shipping containers have been placed along Main Road to protect people from rock fall. The artwork is part of the ContainerArt project which aims to turn the fixture of shipping containers in the Sumner community into a positive by turning them into works of art.
The cartoon shows a man, a woman and a dog all yelling with fright. Refers to the series of severe aftershocks that again rocked Christchurch on January 2nd. The largest was a magnitude-5.5 shake shortly before 6am. All were centred at sea off New Brighton. Mayor Bob Parker said that fear that larger quakes could be triggered had been raised by residents, but the tsunami threat was "highly unlikely".

Part of Mike Hewson's installation 'Homage To Lost Spaces' in the Cramner Courts building, a photograph of a young man working at a desk has been inserted into a gap in the building. The photographer comments, "Cranmer Courts in Christchurch, New Zealand was very badly damaged in the earthquakes that have rocked the City for the past two years. Mike Hewson thought he would try to bring life back into the buildings by putting photographs into the spaces where the doors and windows were. There was a month or so when no one seemed to know or admit who had put the pictures up, but it was done officially. It seems that though very badly damaged the buildings may get restored".
A poster advertising performers Maryrose Crook, Purple Pilgrims and Thje. The photographer comments, "Maryrose Crook, Purple Pilgrims, Thje. Saturday 26 Feb (2011). HSP 9PM $5. HSP stands for High Street Project. Here is the introduction for her concert 'Maryrose Crook's spectral voice and calenture tunes float through New Zealand giants, The Renderers' psychic country-punk and splatter rock, and emerge in her solo encounters with horripilated grace and filigree menace. Purple pilgrims' wraithish hymns evolve through a braided field of curled nautical drone and distant littoral roar, abstract thrums and change-rung celestial rustle'. She was supposed to perform on 26 February, but I am guessing the concert was cancelled due to the major earthquake in Christchurch on the 22nd. The horrendous quake made the venue at 84 Lichfield Street out of limits due to it being in the dangerous earthquake red zone. It looks like she next performed on the 17 May at the Loons in Lyttelton".
