Oxford Terrace Baptist Church on the corner of Madras St and Oxford Terrace, and alongside the Central City Fire Station on Kilmore St.
The 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck at about 4:35 am. Thankfully, the day was warm and still (unlike the cold driving rain and hail of yesterday afternoon).
If you look very closely, running from the nearest right desk to the second desk on the left hand side, you can see my 'fault-line', - the crack that runs the length of the classroom under the lino.

(I righted the bird bath after the initial earthquake. None of the after-shocks were sufficient to knock it over again.)

Bruce and his cage were sitting on top of the small wooden table on the right before the earthquake. He was understandably alarmed.

The September Canterbury earthquake. These pictures were taken of Colombo Street in Sydenham. A lot of masonry in this area has been damaged/fallen down. Note: these photos were taken on a cellphone; mind the quality.
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!
Demolition of Robertson's Bakery building, Victoria Street, Christchurch. The Chandelier rescue ... Walking into work I saw the building I always wanted to buy (and run as a bookshop, perfumery, shoe shop) - the old Robertson's Bakery getting demolished. But the bigass digger gently reached into the wreckage and saved this chandelier, bringing...
Manchester Courts, a seven-storey building on the corner of Hereford and Manchester Streets, is a category one historic place built in 1905-1906 that up until the 7.1 earthquake, housed offices. News of the scheduled demolition provoked an emotional response from the people of Christchurch. UPDATE 14 October 2010: A group of residents is campaig...
A magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred at 4:35 am on September 4, 2010 here in Christchurch. There was damage and destruction to buildings but no loss of life. Five months later (22nd Feb, 2011) the city was struck by another quake. This time we weren't so lucky. 185 people lost their lives. Many people lost homes and businesses. The central b...
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.
The line that runs across this picture is the subsidence line - everything this side of the line has sunk by about 50 cm.
Cracks in the roads and foot paths were surprisingly hard to find given the strength of the earthquake.
