A digitally manipulated photograph of the bottom of Victoria Lake in Hagley Park. The photographer comments, "After the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011, Victoria Lake suffered some cracking which broke the previous clay seal.

The red pile is the clay and in the background is the grey silt or liquefaction that spewed into the lake from cracks in the lake bed".
