This image of a buckled chair depicts the aftermath of the Asian tsunami in which 170,000 people died and 600,000 were left homeless.

It was taken by the British photographer Tim Hetherington two weeks after the wave hit for a project entitled ‘Still Standing’. The houses in the background stand almost two miles from the sea, on the outskirts of the town of Banda Aceh, northern Sumatra.

This image is featured in the latest edition of Ei8ht Photojournalism magazine. All the photographs are available to view on their site.

What Goes On

THINGS TO SEE & DO TODAY

The House of Viktor and Rolf
- "...lives up to its name. The exhibition is dominated by a gigantic doll house, a graceful structure with Palladian proportions where miniature versions of 15 years of fashion fill the series of rooms on three levels."

Psycho Buildings
- "Specially commissioned work transforming The Hayward into a 'psycho building'" Good stuff.

From Atoms to Patterns
- "This exhibition explores the intriguing creations of the Festival Pattern Group - a unique project at the 1951 Festival of Britain involving X-ray crystallographers, designers and manufacturers. At the instigation of Dr Helen Megaw, a leading Cambridge scientist, diagrams of atomic structures inspired an eclectic array of patterns on curtains, wallpapers, carpets, lace, dress fabrics, ties, plates and ashtrays."
