An airshaft as seen ( via wide-angle lens) from the ground floor of the Pacific Design Center complex in Los Angeles, CA.
An angular unconformity is evident between the eroded limb of the syncline and the overlying horizontal younger layers.
An unconformity occurs when deposition of sediment is "not conform" to an ideal continuous sequence of materials that would record time uninterruptedly (given that rocks are our only evidence of past events). Unconformities can be of different kinds, but they all imply that an interval of time is not present in our rock record.
This unconformity is called "angular" because there is an angle between the layers of the lower unit (the limb of the Miocene Barstow syncline) and those, more recent, of the upper unit.
After the layers that now form the syncline were deposited, the area was subject to compression and the layers folded. After the folding, the area was exposed to the atmosphere and eroded. Then new sedimentation started (the upper unit). The time interval not represented in this image is that between the beginning of the folding and the beginning of the new cycle of deposition.
Note the Joshua Trees on top of the mountain for scale.

Day 16: Angular
Inktober
I really want to branch out in posing for a bit. For this particular photo, I took the prompt Angular to give me some inspiration to switch it up. Much like my Photober shoots in 2013, for this one I was bouncing and jumping around to try and get that movement. I didn't necessarily go for angular poses, though that was my first intention, just something different.
I have a few outtakes from this that you'll be able to see on my personal Instagram, @kaldec_
Something else that I love about Photober is that it not only challenges me in shooting, but in editing as well. As seen in my Rose post, I have been experimenting with different types of editing in my photography. I edited this one as if it were going to go on my @kaldec_ Instagram.
Vault, the angular assemblage of yellow-painted steel panels by Sydney artist Ron Robertson-Swann, has become Melbourne’s best known piece of public art. More than 25 years later, despite the proliferation of street based art throughout metropolitan centres, the sculpture remains at the centre of debate about public art in Australia.
Further reading: Peril in the Square, the Sculpture that Challenged a City, by Geoffrey J.Wallis.
Vault has weathered much controversy throughout its existence. Commissioned by the Melbourne City Council after winning a competition in May 1978,[2] for the newly built Melbourne City Square, the sculpture was not even built before it began to attract criticism from conservative media and council factions, on the grounds that its modern form was felt to be unsympathetic to the location. The cost of $70,000 was also felt to be excessive. The sculpture, which officially had no title until Robertson-Swann settled on Vault in September 1980, had previously referred to it as "The Thing"; the workmen who took more than eight weeks to construct it christened it "Steelhenge", was given the derogatory nickname "The Yellow Peril" by the newspapers, a name which has stuck.[2]
Installed in the City Square in May 1980, Vault lasted until December of that year, when its dismantling coincided with the State Government's sacking of the City Council. The Builders Labourers Federation consequently placed bans on further City Square work projects.
Dr. Maurice White Director of Watirna Art Studio with partners John White and Kevin Bird were engaged to move the sculpture and in 1981 Vault was re-erected at Batman Park (named after John Batman) and remained there until 2002 when it was moved to the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in Southbank.[3]
Sunset Newcastle. A whole lot of mathematics going on here. A semi circle inscribed in a triangle, work out what angle A = blah blah blah. This is a view from the Sage theatre -Gateshead, of the Tyne bridge with the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas to the right.
A certain angular appearance is held by the SM42 type rebuilt by Newag, Nowy Sacz.

When you spin an egg shape object, the energy you add to the total system allows the unstable equilibrium, that is the pointy bit of the egg, to be somewhat favorable and therefore the egg 'flips' to spin at its top.
***UPDATE*** Marianne snatched these two for a client that was looking for a nice pair with distinctive vintage appeal. Good choice.
