The Avon River in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, photographed shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake.
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.
