A merry-go-round at Sullivan Park in Avonside. Its base is covered in dried liquefaction.
A sand volcano in the Halswell Primary School grounds near the playground. Sand volcanoes were caused by liquefaction where the soil loses its strength during the earthquake and the silt rises upwards, ejecting out of a hole like magma in a volcano.
Damage to the pavement along the Williams Street bridge in Kaiapoi. Wire fencing with tape and road cones have been placed along the bridge to keep people away.
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 lake has now been excavated so that the new clay seal can be spread out and flattened ready to be filled again with water. 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".

Mural on the side wall of Perry's Cafe on Madras Street. It depicts two work men; one speech bubble saying "Is my crack showing?" and in other other it says "Don't be silly!". A topical joke about the cracks on the wall and Christchurch in general.
