Looking across several properties to a yet to demolished (or possibly removed) house on Seabreeze Close, Pacific Park, Bexley.
External stairs on the Forsyth Barr building in Christchurch. Portions of the internal stairwell collapsed during the earthquake of February 22nd 2011, necessitating use of various means of getting people out of the building. Was the fourth highest building in the city pre earthquakes, but it's future is uncertain. Was for sale "as is, where ...

A house in Pacific Park (Bexley) that borders the Bexley Wetlands. Land moved towards the wetlands and the closer to wetlands the more severe the damage.

This is the Summit Road below Mt Cavendish and shows a few remaining high buildings in the central city beyond (in setting sun). Just above centre is the doomed AMI Stadium (1) aka Lancaster Park, home to Canterbury cricket and rugby till the erathquakes.

The city side of the South Brighton bridge. Approaches on both sides will need extensive work before this bridge can re-open.
Bridge opened for traffic less than a week later, but still (23/09) has 30kmh speed restriction.

Haha! This is the day before Mainzeal (see sign on fence at left) announced they had gone into receivership owing millions to the banks and sub-contractors like Smiths whose equipment is here.

Another web site used this image (with a link to this Flickr page), so the view count sky rocketed.
CERA (Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority)/Tonkin & Taylor also used this image on page 13 of a Land Damage presentation on 23/06/11. This was also released as a PDF. A few mo...

Annette Preen's house in background. See the angle the front of house is on. This maybe a write off as it is trashed inside with liquification occurring right under the house and bursting through concrete floor. Annette was featured on TV3 news tonight. Go to TV3 website to see ne...
A month after the 1st anniversary of the deadly Christchurch earthquake (22/02/11) a road cone lies on New Brighton Road, alongside the Avon River.
Part of the earthquake 1st anniversary remembrance was for people to place flowers in road cones (and there are hundreds of thousands in the city). Many had flowers in them, as this one did.

Prior to the earthquakes (mainly the February 22 2011 event) this park bench was at track level. Shortly after the February quake someone in the council did the sums and realised that the area near the Avon River had dropped between a metre and 1.4m (about 4 foot), so a rush job by contractors shifted in many tonnes of rock and gravel to raise a...

Following the 5.8 and 6.0 quakes of 23/12/11 there is further damage to the track separating the Bexley Wetlands from the Pacific Park housing area.
Cunningham House at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens is still closed due to earthquake damage. I wonder if it will ever re-open or suffer the demolition fate many other iconic structures in Christchurch have.

The Avon River loop around Porritt Park has risen with the quake. Huge cracks are all through Porritt Park (rowing, hockey and cricket venue). The main section of the river is in a man made cut behind the buildings in the background of this pic.

Nearly 80 40 foot containers (most two high) protect Wakefield Avenue in Sumner from further rock falls.

On the right upper third boundary (just behind two stand a...

Further damage to the bank following the two quakes on 23/12/11. The sewer line broke here and was repaired (patched) by council staff on Christmas Eve. It is hard to beleve that this rock wall was level with the land here, before any of the quakes.
#2004
Sewer repairs due to earthquake damage have our street totally closed off apart from pedestrian traffic down the footpath.
