A bit of the now demolished QEII (Queen Elizabeth II) Park running track in the "Gap Filler" on the old Deka site in New Brighton (last occupied by a charity barn before a major fire and subsequent demolition).
Strange sign when the building it refers to is no longer there. Earthquake damage.
Another empty Red Zone section. Avonside Drive, Dallington.
Horrible earthquake on the morning of 4 SEP 2010. Felt throughout New Zealand... Aftershocks still ongoing weeks after the 7.1M earthquake.
Full of weeds after nearly two years of neglect. First time I have been in Victoria Square in over two years.
A week ago this building was intact, now partially demolished. Will be an empty site in a week or two.

There is some beauty in the desolate and near empty Dallington Red Zone.
Growing in a red zone vacant section in Wetlands Grove, Pacific Park.
The seismic survey truck T-Rex (from University of Texas) was in Bexley and Pacific Park a few days ago and may have left this calling card on the front lawn of my old "red zone" house. Obviously the geotechs will know what it means.
The Mack tractor unit with "half a house" ready to depart in the middle of the night, when the roads are quiet. But where is this house heading too?
A red-zone house just a few down the road from where we used to live in Velsheda Street, with bricks (brick veneer?) off and lifted prior to transporting away.
One white dust mask with elastic strap to secure around the head. Black printing on the front reads: '3M 8000 / P1 / AS/NZS 1716'. Used by Student Volunteer Army in the clean up after 4 September 2010 earthquake. Face masks were recommended by Christchurch Public Health staff as a safety precaution for those handling liquefaction. Liquefaction ...

Being prepared for removal. Is in red zone so has to go.d
The house had minimal damage, but the land it was on was deemed to be no good - red zoned.
Another city walk around, this time with my brother-in-law from Auckland. Also went to the Quake City exhibition in the city organised by the Canterbury Museum. First fine day for a while.

Another salvaged house from the Bexley (Pacific Park) red zone is on the truck and may start it's journey to a new location overnight.
19 Velsheda Street, Pacific Park, Bexley is about to be trucked out.
A suburban "red zone" house from Velsheda Street (#11), Pacific Park, is finally cut in half and loaded ready for transport out and a future life somewhere else in the South Island, whether it be close by or way down south in Gore or Clinton (where a few have gone already). The house has been stripped of it's bricks and jacked up for over four m...
