Matching Walls and Garden

Liquefaction silt and sand cover the lawn of a residential property. The photographer comments, "This is a garden inundated with liquefaction. Though most liquefaction is grey in Christchurch there must have been golden sandy beaches before the volcanoes erupted millions of years ago".

Liquefaction in North New Brighton. The photographer comments, "This is the liquid part of liquefaction left when the heavier sand content has dropped down. After the double quake in Christchurch local to me I found these strange lines of bubbles on the surface".

Like Shattered Guttering

Dried liquefaction silt in North New Brighton. The photographer comments, "The liquefaction after the 23 December earthquake in Christchurch started to dry out and the thicker deposits started to curl up like broken drain pipe".
Earthquake Memorial
Images, UC QuakeStudies
A small wooden cross is inserted between stones laid out in the shape of a large cross. The photographer comments, "This is an Earthquake Memorial on Manchester Street, Christchurch, New Zealand. This message is on the tree next to the memorial: 'Earthquake Memorial. 185 people died as a result of the 22 February 2011 earthquake. 185 precious lives are remembered here, with 185 pieces of Halswell stone recovered from St Luke's Church, damaged beyond repair on that day. May they rest in peace. St Luke's in the City'".
Thought I Would Drop In
Images, UC QuakeStudies
Dried liquefaction silt in North New Brighton. The photographer comments, "This is the the top layer of liquefaction that has dried up in the hot sun. A broken eggshell is around 5 times stronger than these, but a fallen leaf is just not enough to break one. You can see underneath that the heavier sandy layer of liquefaction has dried and has cracked as well".

A road cone on the side of Kingsford Street in the Horseshoe Lake district. The cone has been decorated to look like Santa Claus. The photograph has been captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "This cone looks jaunty with a particularly flirtatious swing to its skirt, which provides a nice contrast to the sand-bagged road sign".

2011 Festival of Flowers
Images, UC QuakeStudies
A laminated sign for the 2011 Festival of Flowers attached to a wooden planter. The plants in the planter are dry and dead. The photographer comments, "The theme for the 2011 Festival of Flowers was 'burst! of water'. The Christchurch February earthquake came and water and sand called liquefaction burst out of the ground all around the area. Ironically the plants for the festival were left unattended in the cordoned off red zone and they would have loved a little burst of water".

A small boy is being a real entrepreneur after the Christchurch earthquake of 22 February 2011 and has set up a road-side stall from which you can buy a bag of 'real leakyfakshun'. Behind him is a pile of liquefaction and a spade with which he can fill bags. Context - the Christchurch earthquake of 22 February has caused vastly more liquefaction than the original 4th September earthquake. The vibrations from the quake cause liquefaction which is where the soil loses strength and stiffness, and behaves more like a liquid than a solid - rather like wet sand.

The Bexley Community Garage Sales
Images, UC QuakeStudies
Balloons and a sign advertising a garage sale hang from a fence. The photographer comments, "Today, 23/7/2011 the Bexley community in Christchurch got together and held a Bexley wide garage sale. You could pick up a map of the garage sales in Arncliffe St, which meant that people could find all the garage sales even if they were on the back sections. People got together with close neighbours to hold joint Garage Sales. In the area where the garage sales were held all the homes have been 'written off' by the government, as the land on which they sit is too damaged by the Christchurch earthquakes to repair. In places it looked more like a ships graveyard with the hulls of the houses sinking lopsidedly into the sand. Unfortunately for nearly everyone in the red zone they cannot rebuild a new home as sections to build on start now around $2,000 and the government is not paying them enough to buy a plot of land and build a new home. The choices for Bexley residents in most cases is to rent, buy a house at least a few years old or move to Australia to start again. I was told that up to 80% could be off to Oz".
