A photograph submitted by Mark to the QuakeStories website. The description reads, "Lateral spreading in the back yard, approx 350mm wide.".
An earthquake-damaged bridge, the approach to which has slumped. The photographer comments, "Due to lateral spread and the land slumping the road leading to this bridge has moved down greatly. Just imagine making the street lamps upright and how much that section of road would rise up at the end. When you go over bridges in the east side of Christchurch it is quite a climb up and a big drop down on the other side. The bridges in most cases coped very well, but not so the land leading to them".
A fence along the side of the Avon River near the Retour Restaurant has broken and is leaning towards the river. The photographer comments, "After the Christchurch earthquakes the land moved towards the river Avon and in a lot of places buildings and walls sagged down in the direction of the waterway".
A man inspects damage to his garden. Liquefaction and cracking can be seen on the path and lawn. The photographer comments, "Lateral spreading and liquefaction".
