Toppled grain silos on the outskirts of Darfield near the epicentre of the magnitude 7,1 earthquake that struck on Saturday 4 September 2010.
Tension cracks at least 300 mm deep, on the previously unknown faultline from which the Saturday 4 September 2010 earthquake originated.
This beautiful building on Madras Street is red stickered and may be condemned if the structural damage it suffered in the magnitude 7,1 earthquake on Saturday 4 September 2010 cannot be repaired.

Makes sense that the end of the detour is where the road closes, right? msh1014: 12. Dead End

Looking across the faultline where the Saturday 4 September 2010 magnitude 7.1 earthquake originated. Note how much the previously straight fence is now out of alignment.
The historic Provincial Hotel at the Barbadoes Street / Cashel Street corner has been cordoned off for fear of collapse; aftermath of the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck Christchurch on Saturday 4 September 2010.

A view after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch. Corner of Colombo and Battersea Streets. Given a bit of a HDR process to add "feeling".

This building at the corner of Barbadoes Street / St Asaph Street was so badly damaged in the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck Christchurch on Saturday 4 September 2010 that it had to be demolished
Damaged Christchurch building (old Para Rubber building - see earlier photo from just after quake), partially demolished, after Sept 4th 2010 Christchurch earthquake. Has been sitting on 666 views for a while!
Can't believe how much of this rock fell off! Its looks totally different - no longer a castle. Sad but very glad that the huge rock did not hit anything on the way down!
The result of the magnitude 7.1 Christchurch earthquake at 4.35am on September 4th 2010. Taken from Dallington Terrace looking towards Avonside Drive. This pumping station used to be level. When the tide is in that flax bush on the bend appears to be growing from the middle of the river, suggesting the land has slumped about a meter.

The center of the river has slumped and the two banks have moved about a meter closer together which caused this footbridge to be so twisted. There is a suggestion that this be left as a memorial to the earthquake.
