A view down Papanui Road to Victoria Street, with the Port Hills in the background. The road is closed at the intersection of Victoria Street and Bealey Avenue, and diggers are working beside a damaged building.
Members of the University of Canterbury's E-Learning team admire the view from their temporary office in the James Hight building. The photographer comments, "First looks at our new temporary (maybe) office space. Our group will stay here until April or May 2011, then will move to another floor in the Central Library. South window of our office. Our view looks out to the Port Hills and around to the south west, towards Halswell and Lincoln".
