Churchill County, Nevada
When the energy from pressure built up underneath the Earth's thin crust is suddenly released, an earthquake occurs. At first the crust may just bend. But if the stress is great enough, the rocks will break and "snap" to a new position. This usually happens along fractures in the earth known as faults. if the fault lies close to the surface it may become visible following a large earthquake - the area directly in front of you is an example of this.
Between July and December 1954, six earthquakes and two major aftershocks rocked western Nevada a eastern California. The largest of these, measuring 7.3 on the Richter Scale, was centered seven miles west of here and happened on December 16th. These quakes were felt as far away as Elko, NV and Sacramento, CA. More than 50 miles of faulting were exposed on Fairview Peak and in the Stillwater Range to the northwest. In a matter of moments, the mountains lifted up an average of six feet relative to the surrounding valleys. In some places the mountains rose more than 20 feet! Try to imagine what it must have felt like, and how you might have reacted if you had been camping in this area that day.
San Andreas Fault. I stand high above the portion of the 14 Freeway which is a drive-through earthquake fault. This was the beginning of our trip which was to feature three of the best things California has to offer: (1) driving vacations; (2) a massive earthquake fault between the Pacific and North American plates which will one day destroy everything and (3) delicious tri-tip barbecue sandwiches (at the Rock Inn.)
This is part of the San Andreas Fault set, which is a work-in-progress. Click on "San Andreas Fault (set)" and from there, click on "Map" to see how photos lay out along the length of the fracture, which is the junction of the North American plate and the Pacific Plate.

The fault line is the bare ground in the foreground and extends to the left middle area. It's about 2-3 meters wide and runs the length of the valley. Borah Peak Earthquake Fault Line, Double Springs Pass Road FSR 116, Lost River Range - Pahsimeroi Mountains, Salmon-Challis NF, SW of Challis, Idaho
A wave from Willesden driver Steve "KitKat" Read in GB Railfreight Class 92, 92020 as it blazes through Acton Bridge with the Caledonian Sleeper Down Highlander (1S25).
This was the fourth and final night of KitKat's return to sleeper driving proper having returned from the wilderness of a management role. He reported that all six 92s he drove on the four S25/M11 shifts were flawless. Hats off to 020, 033 (both appearing twice on S25 and photographed on all four runs) and the M11 quartet of 023, 018, 028 and 043 - and of course to the engineers at Wembley and Crewe who keep these high maintenance ladies running night after night.
A revised timetable was in operation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with the Highlander running to/from Inverness and Fort William only and the Lowlander serving Glasgow and Edinburgh as normal.
Red Rock Canyon is named for this streak of red rock that intrudes into the lighter sandstone. You can even see the mixture in the boulders at the bottom of the mountain.
The wavy line on the side of the mountain is the earthquake fault near Fairview Peak from an earthquake in 1954

Oops. This was my fault. Instead of listening to the instructions and placing it on a flat surface and all that rigamarole I decided to just shove it in my pocket and avoid the snowy-wetness.
I still love polaroids.
PLUS I discovered 3 packs of expired film in my grandparents attic!! So exciting :D
Oh. Happy 100th upload to me. Hehe. ^.^

Sortie avec le photo-club pour des photos de nuit.
This is a photograph from the 60th Anniversary Commerative Half Marathon for Tullamore Harriers AC which was held on Saturday 31st August 2013 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 12:00. This was a really great event and there couldn't be any fault found with any aspect of the race. There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event.

This photograph is one of a set of photographs from the Tullamore Harriers Half Marathon 2013. The permanent link to the full set of photographs is [http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157635307620452/]. This set of photographs includes photographs of the start and then photographs of the finish up to the 2 HOUR finishing time.
This race celebrates the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joing routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The race today brings competitive national road racing back to The Harriers. In the past there was the famous Quinnlan Cup
Festival of Races (see a link below for some nostalgia) which was one of Ireland's Blue Ribband events. Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There was about 500 participants of runners, joggers, and walkers.
Weather: The midday start seen warm pleasant conditions for running. The layout of the course meant that there was a stiff breeze into the face of competitors for the first few miles. When the race turned around to return to Tullamore the wind was more favourable to runners.
Course: The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course.
Location Map: Start/finish and registration and race HQ was all at Tullamore Harriers AC Club Grounds: goo.gl/maps/xZ4GM (Google Streetview)
Refreshments: There was a very impressive selection of refreshments including sandwiches, cakes, home-made breads, etc in the Harriers clubhouse afterwards. People were able to enjoy their post race refreshments outside in the warm pleasant sunshine.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Emergency landing for "Special Forces" helicopter in Monmouth. An Apache AH 64 D gunship helicopter, rumoured to be operational with UK Special Forces, had to make an emergency landing at the playing fields of Monmouth Boys School today, Thursday 12th March. A crew member was heard to say "there was a fault in a component that requires us to land almost immediately". It was flying with another Apache helicopter that circled the area until his colleague made a safe landing before returning to base.
Possibly the Garlock fault which runs between the north and south sections of China Lake. Photographer unknown, Gary Verver collection.
Mrs Trawets bought me this slice of Tiramisu to go with my coffee, as I didn't ask for it, it shouldn't affect my weight.
Portable earths applied to the cable terminating-box of this 11kV overhead feeder. Note that the overhead section has been removed from the cable-box and tied back.
The fault lay beneath the ground, between the pole and the sub-station, and the Circuit Main-Earth was applied via the circuit-breaker at the substation-end.

Little did I realize when taking this picture that a very distinctive and fascinating discontinuity (fault line?) extends through the diagonal of this eroded sandstone formation. I am not a geologist but I recognize that the layering in the sections of sandstone above and below the discontinuity are very different and for the boundary to be such a nearly straight line some interesting geologic action occurred here millions of years ago. This shot was taken in the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada.
