A photograph of an earthquake-damaged building, previously the site of Portobello Antiques on Tuam Street. The second storey wall has collapsed leaving the inside exposed.
Detail of a damaged house in an overgrown site. The windows have been boarded up and some words can be partially read, it says "We will try to...".
Steel reinforcement on the exterior wall, next to it is a vacant site left after the demolition of a building. Outside the fence is an aqua Ford Thunderbird car.

None
Will be opening asap when suitable site located. Mail orders still taken. and farmers markets a possibility. But later demolished along with the adjacent building.

One polyester, pink and purple patterned tie left as an earthquake tribute at the Canterbury Television site and collected on 21 October 2013.
When this building was first brought on site I spent a few hours removing the tape/paper that had been covering every window.
This manuscript provides a critical examination of the ground motions recorded in the near-source region resulting from the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Particular attention is given to reconciling the observed spatial distribution of ground motions in terms of physical phenomena related to source, path and site effects. The large number of near-source observed strong ground motions show clear evidence of: forward-directivity, basin generated surface waves, liquefaction and other significant nonlinear site response. The pseudo-acceleration response spectra (SA) amplitudes and significant duration of strong motions agree well with empirical prediction models, except at long vibration periods where the influence of basin-generated surface waves and nonlinear site response are significant and not adequately accounted for in empirical SA models. Pseudo-acceleration response spectra are also compared with those observed in the 4 September 2010 Darfield earthquake and routine design response spectra used in order to emphasise the amplitude of ground shaking and elucidate the importance of local geotechnical characteristics on surface ground motions. The characteristics of the observed vertical component accelerations are shown to be strongly dependent on source-to-site distance and are comparable with those from the 4 September 2010 Darfield earthquake, implying the large amplitudes observed are simply a result of many observations at close distances rather than a peculiar source effect.
The public will have its first chance to see an $11 million earthquake memorial today, after family members of the injured and dead held an emotional private service at the site yesterday evening.

A view through the cordon fence on Hereford Street, where just past the T & G Building is a demolition site. A digger and building rubble can be seen in the background.
Cordon fencing on Colombo Street. People are walking along the fence to have a look at the damaged buildings and demolition sites. The upper storeys of a building have partially collapsed.
A sign on the site of a demolished building reads, "We miss you mummy, xx". In the background "Do not demoli." has been spray-painted on the wall of a building.
View down Re:Start mall, building on the left has been cordoned off to the public, and a Wilson's carpark on the right which was convert from a demolition site.
The cleared site, where 115 lost their lives in the February 22, 2011 earthquake, has been turned into a memorial garden, which is intended to be a place for reflection and rememberance.
