watery Wednesday" Ripple
http://waterywednesday.blogspot.com/
Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other rapid loading (force), causing it to behave like a liquid.
This photo is a water ripple, but it looks like the liquefaction in Christchurch that has become a popular word. This is day four, and the tragedy continues. Today, the death toll is 103.

I have been watching it on the news, and it's just terrible.
I have also been following the story in the news. It is hard to imagine this kind of devistation.
you captured the ripple very well.
