A view looking south down Durham Street during the aftermath of the 22 February 2011 earthquake. On the left are the ruins of the historic stone Provincial Council Legislative Chamber. The building's roof and walls have already collapsed, as has the scaffolding which was erected to repair it after the 4 September 2010 earthquake. An aftershock has caused masonry to dislodge from the building, sending dust into the air.
Damage to the Provincial Council Buildings. The Stone Chamber has collapsed, and is behind cordon fencing. The photographer comments, "A bike ride around the CBD. Provincial Chambers, Durham St".
