Context - When a 25-tonne boulder crashed through the garage roof of Phil Johnson's home and left it in ruins during the Christchurch earthquake of 22 February he sold it at an online auction for NZ$60,500 (#27,652). Mr Johnson dubbed it "Rocky". The money will be used to help quake victims.

Obvious seeing why the Summit Road has been closed below Mt Cavendish since the February 22 2011 earthquake. There are some large rocks there!

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.
A digitally manipulated image of two chairs sitting among rubble. The photographer comments, "There is a strip of land that has been declared as the red zone. This means that the houses facing towards the tidal estuary must be abandoned as they are on land that has been declared uneconomic to repair after the Christchurch earthquakes. These chairs are at the front of one of these properties that will be bulldozed. These seem to be saying come hell or high water we will not be moved".

A digitally manipulated image of a sign reading "A bit of dirt never hurt". The photographer comments, "This was a sign put up on a section of land in the Port of Lyttelton where an earthquake damaged building had been removed. The cliff at the back had collapsed down probably during the demolition process".
