Nearing the end of demolition of the Westend Jewellers site on the corner of Worcester and Manchester Streets, Christchurch. Badly damaged in the September 4th earthquake.
Castle Rock above Heathcote, showing damage (and two very large pieces in the foreground) that came down during the 7.1 quake on 4th September.
Two of the large boulders (larger than a house or two) that came down from Castle Rock (see the fence in front of the boulders).
Nearly two weeks after the 7.1 earthquake, and a week after demolition started, this is the end of The Valley Inn in Heathcote.
The pumping station at the corner of New Brighton Road and Palmers Road. New Brighon Road is still closed (2 weeks after quake) at this point.
The damage to Castle Rock, overlooking the Heathcote Valley from the 7.1 earthquake on September 4th.
The South Brighton bridge abutment (city side). Bridge looks fine, just both approaches have moved A LOT!
CD racks and bookshelf in lounge. Amazing that the glass vase on the glass topped coffee table didn't move!
The city side of the South Brighton bridge. Approaches on both sides will need extensive work before this bridge can re-open.
The Avon River loop around Porritt Park has risen with the quake. Huge cracks are all through Porritt Park (rowing, hockey and cricket venue). The main section of the river is in a man made cut behind the buildings in the background of this pic.

The footpath besides ANZAC Drive and the Bexley Wetlands. Liquefaction silt from well underground has flowed to the surface. Photo taken less than three hours after the 4:35am earthquake.

The city side of the South Brighton bridge. Approaches on both sides will need extensive work before this bridge can re-open. Bridge opened for traffic less than a week later, but still (23/09) has 30kmh speed restriction.
Annette Preen's house in background. See the angle the front of house is on. This maybe a write off as it is trashed inside with liquification occurring right under the house and bursting through concrete floor. Annette was featured on TV3 news tonight. Go to TV3 website to see news item.
Wairoa Street Another web site used this image (with a link to this Flickr page), so the view count sky rocketed. CERA (Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority)/Tonkin & Taylor also used this image on page 13 of a Land Damage presentation on 23/06/11. This was also released as a PDF. A few months later a friend emailed me the report (for...
