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.
A section of retaining wall that tilted in the Christchurch 2011 earthquake. At the Edmunds Band Rotunda sight. Still not repaired,

20130817_2457_1D3-400 The story of Christchurch (Day 229/365)
Many roads are closed all over eastern Christchurch as infra-structure repairs are carried out, whether it be water supplies, sewer repairs (as is the case here) or general road repairs, In just over two weeks it will be three years since the first earthquake happened (4th September...

This bus is used as a chocolate restaurant, and is parked next to the Pallet Pavilion on the site of th...
The ticket office at Lancaster Park (AMI Stadium), not used since the February 2011 earthquake. Windows broken and door boarded up.
We are still waiting to see what the outcome is for this stadium. Government want a new one closer to the CBD, so there is talk of this being demolished, while others want it repaired.
Closed due to earthquake damage. But it looks in better condition than the building I work in!

Looking across several properties to a yet to demolished (or possibly removed) house on Seabreeze Close, Pacific Park, Bexley.
A historic plate smashed in the February Christchurch earthquake. Ashley Gorge Scenic Reserve was established by my Great-Grandmother (maternal) many years ago.
73 months after the earthquake that damaged it, the jetty at South New Brighton Domain is still not repaired. Seven years ago it was straight and level.
Dull, flat and orrible (horrible) light meant this image was destined to become monochrome!
An impressive Cabbage Tree (Cordyline australis) that was in someone's back yard prior to the demolition of houses post the 2011 earthquake.
A Phoenis Palm (Phoenix canariensis) that was in someone's back yard prior to the demolition of houses post the 2011 earthquake.
I think all the National Banks in the country have been either closed or rebranded ANZ, but this one on the corner of Colombo and Armagh Streets is still inside the CBD red zone and has yet to be touched. I have heard that this building is staying so whether it becomes an ANZ or not time will tell.
This was one of the top five busiest pedest...
Scavenger Hunt 101 - SH 8 (abandoned building or ruin)
The ruins/remains of what was the third highest building in Christchurch, pre earthquakes, the Price Waterhouse Coopers building in Armagh Street. At 76.3 metres ( 21 floors) the demolition has left the basement (now flooded) and these supports.
Just one of many photos from Christchurch ...
Scavenger Hunt 101 - SH 52 (graffiti)
Graffiti (or wall art) on the now visible side of a building in central Christchurch. There are still about 100 major buildings to be demolished in the city post the earthquakes.
A couple of city blocks away from the now damaged Cathedral a temporary $4million cathedral has been built using large cardboard tubes and sheeting.
Haha! This is the day before Mainzeal (see sign on fence at left) announced they had gone into receivership owing millions to the banks and sub-contractors like Smiths whose equipment is here.
