Description: Text reads 'Parking wardens resume work in Christchurch'. A parking warden peers anxiously at a huge tanker named 'Bill's Septic Tank Services' which is apparently parked illegally.

Context - 'After a lengthy grace period following the devastating February 22 quake, Parking wardens were yesterday on the hunt for parking infringers in the city's non-metered time-restricted zones, loading zones, bus/tour coach stops and taxi stands, and on the likes of broken yellow lines.' The resumption of work by the parking wardens does suggest a return to normal in Christchurch. (NZHerald 30 May 2011) Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

They include the cathedral (with umbrella), the pier, Avon river punts, the Gondola, the CBD, statues, The Chalice, the Mayor and the Hagley cricket oval. In July 2013 the temporary 'Cardboard Cathedral' designed by the architect Shigeru Ban after the the Christchurch earthquakes, was damaged by heavy rain.

Description: A helicopter in Christchurch flies over newly constructed boxes, representing buildings, out of which ugly humanoid faces leer.

The new buildings being put up in the aftermath of the Christchutrch earthquakes and demolition, owing to the constraints of excessive earthquake standards and cost, were drab, cheap-looking and unimaginative. The defence by some of their unnoticeable beauty seemed strained. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
