Graffiti of an angel clutching a bottle, accompanied by the text "Chritchurch (sic) living make a good man drink." The photographer comments, "Living in Christchurch during the earthquakes was hard on all of us.

As of today 24 September 2011 there has been 8660 earthquakes/aftershocks in the Christchurch area".
