The entrance way of the Lyttelton Convent (now privately owned) on Exeter Street, all that is left of this beautiful brick building. A pile of rubble can be seen through the doorway.
Furniture spray-painted with drawings and words by members of the public as part of the Words of Hope project. Messages can be seen, such as, "Oneness, lovingness, synchronised hearts", "Take it easy! Yay...words of hope!", "Think differently", "Happy, happy, happy", "Christchurch FTW", "Life is for loving", "Life is beautiful", "Plant and grow", "Rise up", and "Keep going Chch".
A photograph looking down south down Poplar Lane from the intersection of Lichfield Street. The lane is littered with bricks from the earthquake-damaged buildings above. A car parked on the right side of the lane has also been crushed by the falling bricks. Behind the car a message reading, 'Open your eyes. Life is beautiful', has been chalked on a brick wall.

The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament after the dome was removed. Large cracks are visible in the walls and in the dome's supporting structure, and the facade is supported by haybales and shipping containers. The photographer comments, "The main dome of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament became unsafe after the February Christchurch earthquake - workmen have slowly been dismantling it. Now we are just left with the cracked and twisted walls that supported the beautiful dome".
