A damaged house perched on the edge of the cliffs above Sumner. The photographer comments, "This house has slowly gone over the edge since the big earthquake in Christchurch in February 2011. Subsequent earthquakes has caused the rock face to crumble more and more".
Houses teetering on the edge of the cliff above Sumner, which collapsed, taking one house with it. Below, a line of shipping containers protect the road from falling rocks.
