Detail of steel bracing supporting the Colombo Street overpass. The photographer comments, "After the earthquake in Christchurch the Colombo St overpass got damaged and they used reinforcing steel beams to hold it up".
A security fence stands behind fallen rubble and the charred remains of the McKenzie & Willis building on High Street. A portable toilet has been placed on the road next to a steel beam which is supporting the building.
Damage to the front of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. Large cracks are visible in the stonework, and one side is supported by shipping containers and hay bales. The photographer comments, "The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament has a lot of cracking on the exterior and one column appears to be leaning to the right. To my non-expert eye it does look like the front could easily give way. Notice the broken supporting beam".
