dc.title: The Drunken Lampposts
dc.description: A residential street in New Brighton. Liquefaction still lines the street, and lampposts are leaning in different directions.

Although the houses do not look too bad in the background they have suffered badly. On the day I took this picture the council had just hours before cut the grass, which made the area look less abandoned".
