A heart shape made from takeaway cups and a heart-shape felt piece, stitched to the wire fence in front of the Volcano Cafe and Lava Bar. On it are the words "Live. Love. Life". Behind is a pile of bricks, a broken fence and a digger can be partially seen.
A photograph of a temporary installation titled Aurora, which was created by students from Unitec, in partnership with Black Betty cafe. Aurora was part of CityUps - a 'city of the future for one night only', and the main event of FESTA 2014.
Students sit outside the InTentCity 6.3 Cafe, which was set up in a tent in the Law car park while University of Canterbury buildings were closed for structural testing. The photographer comments, "The University restarts its teaching, and the techies in e-learning move out of NZi3. The cafe has an outside seating area under the trees".
Members of the public sit at tables outside the Coffee Lovers cafe on the newly re-opened New Regent Street.

I used to get lunch at the cafe "Next Best" here. Glad the earthquake did not strike at lunch time!
A view across London Street in Lyttelton to The Volcano Cafe, The Lava Bar, and Coastal Living Design Store. Masonry from the buildings has collapsed onto the footpath, and the site has been cordoned off with wire fencing. The buildings' yellow recycling bins are still waiting on the curb for collection.
A view down London Street in Lyttelton, looking east from Canterbury Street. To the left, the damaged Volcano Cafe can be seen, with bricks from the side wall still on the road and wire fencing around the building. A road sign reading, "Road closed" has been placed in front of the street ahead.
Damage to the Fuze Restaurant and Cafe on the corner of Oxford Street and Norwich Quay. The facade around the top of the building has crumbled into the street below. Wire fencing has been used to create a cordon around the building.
The sign for Perry's Cafe has had "Shaken but not deterred" added under the name of the cafe. One of the iconic figures of two workmen painted on the side of the building, which have regularly-changed speech bubbles commenting humorously on topical subjects, are saying "Is my crack showing?" The paint has peeled from the other speech bubble, obscuring the reply. The photographer comments, "After the numerous earthquakes in Christchurch a lot of buildings were damaged and made off limits. This affected a lot of cafes and take aways, so if you were open you needed to make it known. The words missing from the speech bubble are 'Don't be silly'".

A group of young people sit outside the Shop Eight and Rekindle cafe on the newly re-opened New Regent Street.

A felt heart sewn to the fencing around the Volcano Cafe provides a bit of beauty to an otherwise depressing scene.
