The jetty in the South New Brighton Domain was rebuilt a few years ago. It was straight and level till the earthquakes. Has been closed for 2½ years now. The shags like it though!
The damage to Castle Rock, overlooking the Heathcote Valley from the 7.1 earthquake on September 4th.
The sea wall at Beachville Road, Redcliffs, after the earthquake. It used to be straight and level - not now! As a teenager I went fishing off this wall.

The South New Brighton jetty has been closed for 3 or 4 years (fenced off) then the fence was removed and it was "open", but nothing has happened to it since the earthquakes, but it is closed again now, although it looks like a home made sign!

What more can one say except that Shag Rock is now about one third it's original height. Whitewash Head in the background with the road that now drops over a cliff.
Shot from up Hunstbury Hill with a 600mm f/4 on a very grey morning. 8am demolition. The guy behind me only looked up when the sounds of the explosion reahed us and the building was half way down!
A house, one of the few still remaining in the Dallington Red Zone (Avonside Drive, Dallington). The area is "red zoned" due to land damage from earthquakes (mainly the February 22nd 2011 6.4 magnitude quake).

Eighty years and then the damage was done. Result of the earthquake on 22/02/11.
Two relatively new town houses in the Bexley "Red Zone". Awaiting demolition due to severe land problems. Have been vandalised.
Post the earthquakes land has sunk and in this case the track is below high tide level. It would have been at least 500mm above the highest tide level prior to the recent earthquakes that started on 04/09/10.
20130125_1749_1D3-400 Road Closed 1 The Lyttelton side of Evans Pass is closed (since the earthquake 23 months ago - 22/02/11). Prior to the road tunnel (through the Port Hills) opening in the early 1960s this was the main access road to the port of Lyttelton. #3072
