A view after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch. Victoria Street. So sad to see history die - both buildings and business. Sign on the back wall says, "You gotta be there Christchurch" - sadly ironic! Given a bit of a HDR process to add some of what I was "feeling" at the time.
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

Yes, it was a joke. The tours, that is, not the yard filled with earthquake-caused sand volcanos. They were very real. You can see one covering the driveway in this photo. The signs read as follows. "Tours run 1/2 hourly. $5.25 admission. Eftpos unavailable." "If you think this is bad... you should see the back!"

Meanwhile the other end of the building has sunk about 50cm splitting the building into thirds. The sand you can see is what came bubbling up out of the ground due to liquifaction.

Nearing the end of demolition of the Westend Jewellers site on the corner of Worcester and Manchester Streets, Christchurch. Badly damaged in the September 4th earthquake.
The city side of the South Brighton bridge. Approaches on both sides will need extensive work before this bridge can re-open.
Castle Rock above Heathcote, showing damage (and two very large pieces in the foreground) that came down during the 7.1 quake on 4th September.
Two of the large boulders (larger than a house or two) that came down from Castle Rock (see the fence in front of the boulders).
Nearly two weeks after the 7.1 earthquake, and a week after demolition started, this is the end of The Valley Inn in Heathcote.
