A cycle-lane sign submerged in water. The photographer comments, "During the Christchurch earthquake this sign must have dropped off of the pedestrian bridge above and landed straight down into the Avon River".

A photograph of the earthquake-damaged Observatory tower at the Christchurch Arts Centre. The photograph was taken using a cellphone camera. The top of the tower collapsed during the 22 February 2011 earthquake. The rubble from the tower has been cleared and a tarpaulin has been placed over the top of the broken tower. Tyres have been placed on the tarpaulin to hold it down. A temporary roof has also been constructed over the tower to keep out the rain.
