one of Christchurch's abandoned suburbs. The land moved - bricks and block walls everywhere collapsed - two multi story buildings folded - 184 people died. Wooden framed houses largely stayed up, many concrete slabs cracked, power poles leaned in liquid ground, surface bubbled, services ruptured .... damage to the cbd still gets the most cover...

A digitally manipulated image of an excavator. The photographer comments, "This is a huge excavator in the Christchurch CBD. It is being used to clear away the enormous amount of rubble from the buildings being demolished. It seems that nearly all the big machinery from all other the world has been needed in the clean up of the earthquake damaged buildings and utilities".

Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "A sign on the fence of a red zoned property in Lower Styx Road. The sign reads, 'Browlee an (sic) Sutton R Clowns. Haven't got it right! $75 He rip off'. Many of the homeowners in this area believe that their homes should not be red zoned as the damage is much less than in other red zoned areas".
