A photograph submitted by Tim Kerr to the QuakeStories website. The description reads, "This little one became my main shit truck. It wore out clutch mechanisms at a great rate. Several drivers were sacked for buggering it up. When having the little truck serviced I checked up on its history. It had had incessant clutch problems BEFORE it was allocated to the TransPac shit-collectors!".
A chimney collapsed and fallen from a house in Cracroft, now lying on the lawn. It has taken the satellite dish with it.
A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "The Christchurch Central Police Station. It has recently been announced that the Police will vacate this building, as it is not considered safe enough for Police headquarters. It is not clear what will happen to the building which may be strong enough for a less critical operation".
A house in Hororata. The chimney has fallen, taking the fence with it. Part of it can still be seen lying on the ground.
Stonework from St John's Anglican Church where it fell during the 4 September earthquake. It is October and the daffodils have almost died.
A photograph submitted by Scott Thomas to the QuakeStories website. The description reads, "The picture is of St Martins, a suburb just 2 minutes drive up the street from my place. The photo does not do it justice but this road was like the moon, it used to be flat and it is wet due to burst pipes. Photo taken shortly after the 22 Feb 2011 earthquake".
University of Canterbury IT staff in their temporary office in the NZi3 building. The photographer comments, "University of Canterbury administration all fits into one building! Well, sort of. IT support and phones".
(It was already opened up mid-way through a repair. But it wasn't on the floor!)
Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "The Edmonds Clock on Oxford Terrace looks quite unlike itself, but at least it is being protected while it is repaired".

The footpath in front of a building on Williams Street. As the building subsided it took part of the path with it. This gives an idea of how much this commercial building sank due to liquefaction.
Detail of damage to a house in Richmond. A double-brick wall has collapsed, and a gap is visible between the house and its foundation. The photographer comments, "These photos show our old house in River Rd and recovery work around Richmond and St Albans. The house and the concrete patio are now 15cm apart. The house took half the dining room's remaining bricks with it as it jumped off the foundations. It gives a good visual indication of the displacement".
Damage to a residential property in Richmond. The brick wall of the garage has collapse inward, and the roof fallen in on top of it. The photographer comments, "These photos show our old house in River Rd and recovery work around Richmond and St Albans. The neighbours behind us used the kayak to get in to their house - it's flooded by Dudley Creek which runs behind the block, plus major liquefaction. Our old garage provides a good spot to park it".
A police officer and two soldiers inspects a property on Avonside Drive. The awning above the door has collapsed, taking some of the brick wall with it. It still lies on the front steps of the house.

A view of the Medway Street footbridge through a safety fence that is blocking access to it. The bridge links Avonside Drive and River Road. It was damaged in the 4 September 2010 earthquake.
A misaligned brick wall in front of a property with silt still piled up around it. During the earthquake, liquefaction drove silt to the surface where it erupted out of the ground like a volcano and formed a pile like the one seen here.
The Empire Hotel on London Street in Lyttelton. Bracing has been placed on the front of the building to keep it together and limit further damage from aftershocks. Fencing around the building has been used to cordon it off.
Shands Emporium standing alone on Hereford Street, the buildings on either side of it demolished. The photographer comments, "This lovely old building looks a little more broken every time I see it, after having been exposed to the elements for so long".
University of Canterbury IT staff in their temporary office in the NZi3 building. The photographer comments, "University of Canterbury administration all fits into one building! Well, sort of. IT staff discuss system issues - or biscuits. Deborah Pearson, Sean Lowry, Malcolm Smeaton".
