Christchurch Sept 4th Earthquake. 10-15 minutes after main quake (went up the hill incase).
It is hard to imagine the destruction which surrounds this area on such a beautiful clear calm sunny spring morning, It seems as if Christchuch has changed forever. I wonder how long it will take us to recover.
Cracks have ripped through external columns of this 7 storey building (corner of Hereford Street / Manchester Street), and efforts are being made to shore up and strengthen it to save it from demolition after it suffered structural damage in the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck Christchurch on Saturday 4 September 2010.

(It was already opened up mid-way through a repair. But it wasn't on the floor!)
Looked like a nice stereo they had.
Otukaikino Reserve ,Christchurch .Hasn,t been open since Sept earthquake so i dont know what it is like now but it was a very nice area

Laura Young and I tying down tarps over the hole in the roof. We did what we could to tie it down with tension and weigh it down with bricks tied to the tarps. Why? Because gale-force winds are predicted for tomorrow (Sunday) and rain on Tuesday.
It would have been a glorious Spring day in Christchurch had it not been for the magnitude 7.1 earthquake at 4:30 am. All the water and silt you can see covering the street in this photo erupted from the ground following the earthquake.
Now a heap of rubble. It didn't stand up to the bigger aftershocks
Local park walkway. The day of the quake the birds on the lake beside it were disturbed and made a lot of noise

Damage from Christchurch 4th September Earthquake. Really lucky no one was there because it was 4:35am.
The chimney busted right through the wooden beam holding up the roof. I'm told it may an alarming noise.
Laura and her neighbour getting the chimney down before it comes through their ceiling. Ominous cracks were growing in the ceiling.
This building at the Barbadoes Street / St Asaph Street intersection was so badly gamaged it had to be demolished.
The side wall of the building on the left collapsed onto their roof, collapsing it into the stonemasons store. Several gravestones were also damaged!
The magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck Christchurch on 4 September 2010 caused the parapet to topple, taking with it the verandah of this cafe where I had a few coffees.
