Building rubble in front of a partially demolished house on Peterborough Street. The photographer comments, "Wood at the front, bricks in the middle and bits of house at the back".
A red-stickered house with cracks running down the brick wall. The house has also separated slightly from the foundations and is now on a lean. The brick wall on the house next door has partially crumbled.
Bricks fallen from the wall and chimney of the Caxton Press building. Some windows have been boarded up, and in front is a pile of bricks that has been cordoned off with tape and road cones.

A demon mask hangs from a brick chimney in New Brighton. Some of the bricks at the base of the chimney appear to have moved. The photographer comments, "Since the September earthquake brick chimneys have been tumbling down. I do not know if this was put up to ward off shaking of the chimney during earthquakes, but it seems to be working. This chimney has now been taken down at the end of March 2012 and replaced with a simple metal flue".
Reasons why it pays not to be a smoker - if the quake had hit during opening hours there would have been probably half a dozen smokers underneath the black awning crushed by falling bricks.
The base of the tower on the right of this picture has sunk so that the lower course of bricks have disappeared below ground level. The sand you can see is what came bubbling up out of the ground due to liquifaction.

A damaged brick building on Tuam Street. Bricks have fallen from the wall exposing the interior, where a wooden structure can be seen to have collapsed. The photographer comments, "This is the damage caused by the numerous earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand. It closely resembles a face and the round blob in the square hole at the top of the nose is a pigeon".
