Damage to a gutter on Avonside Drive. The height difference between the two broken sections shows how the land has moved as a result of the 4 September 2010 earthquake.
An aerial photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "The River Avon winding its way through densely populated housing. For now, much of the land alongside the River Avon is zoned red, and will not be built upon any time soon".
Damage to River Road in Richmond. The road surface is badly cracked and slumped, and liquefaction silt covers part of the road. Two people in gumboots walk towards a barrier erected across the road using road cones and warning tape, and in the background the badly twisted Medway Street bridge can be seen. The photographer comments, "Longitudinal cracks indicate lateral movement as the land sagged towards the river. Near 373 River Rd, looking south-east towards Medway St. The Medway St bridge is visible in the background".
An aerial photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "An area within the loop of the Avon River which is all red zoned now. There is some land near River Road on the other side of the river which is also red".

Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "This loop of the Avon encircles Horseshoe Lake and gives the area its name and its attraction as a place to live. The land close to the Avon River has severe issues with slumping, lateral movement and liquefaction, so that much of it is red zoned and the houses will be demolished".
Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "Horseshoe Lake area of Burwood has that name because a loop of the Avon River encircled it in a horseshoe shape. There used to be an attractive walk alongside the loop of the River. Much of the path is now under water as the land level has subsided as a result of the earthquakes".

Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "248 Queensbury Street, Horseshoe Lake. In many properties it is hard to know what is vertical because the land has shifted so much that pergolas, fences, and the walls of the house are all at different angles".
Cars driving over the damaged Gayhurst Road Bridge. The approach to the bridge has been re-sealed, but gaps at the sides of the road show the relative movement of bridge and land.
