The engine's running and this light should have gone off - the display reads: ANTI POLLUTION FAULT
However, fear not friends, the car seems to be running fine. I booked it in to the garage for Friday but by Wednesday it had sorted itself out :)
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.

Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
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
SEVEN MONTHS ON (14 of 19).
Apartment block development on via Dante Alighieri, Sfrizzoli, (Pettino, L'Áquila (AQ), Abruzzo, Italy) seven months after the L'Aquila earthquake of April 2009 (5 of 6).
Jill (L) and Francesco walk through the development. Much of this was not built to anti-seismic standards even though located less than three hundred metres from a large normal fault in a seismically active area.
Earthquake damage is not visible in this view but can be seen in other pictures in this set. Jill and Francesco are walking towards the active fault plane (see below, and note on picture).
I have given further information about this earthquake, and the legal events arising from it, in the description to my accompanying image in this series, Rubble Trouble. For an interesting perspective on the post-earthquake situation in and around L'Áquila, see this photo and article.
NOTE ON PLACE NAMES.
Flickr Map gives the formal Region name as *Abruzzi" here, but "Abruzzo'" is the correct rendering.
GEOLOGICAL NOTES
In Google Maps Satellite View (and less clearly in the lower resolution Flickr Satellite View), the active fault line runs across this view between the apartment blocks and the NW-SE ridge of higher wooded and rocky ground behind them (see note), and parallel to the main road behind us (via Antica Arischia). The block directly in front was relatively undamaged but the next photo shows large crack pattern in its rear wall.
"The 2009 L'Áquila earthquake occurred in the region of Abruzzo, in central Italy. The main shock occurred at 3:32 local time on 6 April 2009, and was rated 5.8 on the Richter scale and 6.3 on the moment magnitude scale; its epicentre was near L'Áquila, the capital of Abruzzo, which together with surrounding villages [like Pettino here] suffered most damage. There have been several thousand foreshocks and aftershocks since December 2008, more than thirty of which had a Richter magnitude greater than 3.5. The earthquake was felt throughout central Italy; 308 people are known to have died, making this the deadliest earthquake to hit Italy since the 1980 Irpinia earthquake."
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_L%27Aquila_earthquake
According to our geological friends in this area, it is well established that there is an approximately 100-year cycle of earthquakes in the L'Áquila region, and the timing of this one fits with this cycle. Tectonically, this part of the Apennines is in a tensional regime dominated by normal block faulting, and the earthquake was generated along normal faults in and around L'Áquila.

These are seismograms for the Maple Creek and Parker Peak seismic stations in Yellowstone, Wyoming. The prominent noise in the 15:30 lines on the graphs (click on the image once or twice to zoom in) was caused by shock waves from a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that occurred below the Atlantic Ocean seafloor at 7:44 PM, local time, on 18 September 2020. Shock waves arrived at the seismic stations at 3:56 PM, Yellowstone time, ~12.5 minutes after the quake hit. The zig-zag pattern on the 16:30 lines represents the arrival of surface waves at Yellowstone.
This earthquake occurred along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is part of a seafloor mountain chain of global extent. Mid-ocean ridges are sites of seafloor spreading, along which tectonic plates diverge (separate) and new basaltic oceanic crust forms. Earthquakes are frequent along such divergent plate boundaries. This particular quake occurred along a transform fault just north of the Saint Paul Fracture Zone, which is located near the equator, between South America and Africa. Transforms offset the Mid-Atlantic Ridge itself - relatively short-length transform faults are common along mid-ocean ridges. Two other powerful earthquakes have occurred in this general area in the previous two weeks.

--------------------------------
An earthquake is a natural shaking or vibrating of the Earth caused by sudden fault movement and a rapid release of energy. Earthquake activity is called "seismicity". The study of earthquakes is called "seismology". The actual underground location of an earthquake is the hypocenter, or focus. The site at the Earth's surface, directly above the hypocenter, is the epicenter. Minor earthquakes may occur before a major event - such small quakes are called foreshocks. Minor to major quakes after a major event are aftershocks.
Most earthquakes occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries, such as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges, collision zones, and transform plate boundaries. They also occur at hotspots - large subsurface mantle plumes (Examples: Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland, Afar).
Earthquakes generate four types of shock waves: P-waves, S-waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves and S-waves are body waves - they travel through solid rocks. Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only at the surface - they are surface waves. P-waves are push-pull waves that travel quickly and cause little damage. S-waves are up-and-down waves (like flicking a rope) that travel slowly and cause significant damage. Love waves are side-to-side surface waves, like a slithering snake. Rayleigh waves are rotational surface waves, somewhat like ripples from tossing a pebble into a pond.
Earthquakes are associated with many specific hazards, such as ground shaking, ground rupturing, subsidence (sinking), uplift (rising), tsunamis, landslides, fires, and liquefaction.
Some famous major earthquakes in history include: Shensi, China in 1556; Lisbon, Portugal in 1755; New Madrid, Missouri in 1811-1812; San Francisco, California in 1906; Anchorage, Alaska in 1964; and Loma Prieta, California in 1989.

California Interstate 5 & Pyramid Lake sit right on the San Andreas Fault line, as the primary tangent turns from the Central Coast to the Mojave Desert. The landscape is evident of this all over the lake shore. Angeles National Forest covers this region and eastward, and Los Padres National Forest to the westside of the lake.

Faults are quite common in orogenic belts. Faults are defined as fractures in rocks along which differential displacement has occurred. Dip-slip faults are those involving movement of rocks in non-horizontal directions. Strike-slip faults involve movement of rocks in horizontal directions.
The two common types of dip-slip faults are normal faults and reverse faults. Normal faults form by extensional stress. Reverse faults form by compressional stress.
Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed, but possibly from South Dakota, USA
This fault is adjacent to the San Andreas Fault and part of the complex. My location is probably not quite spot on. It's with in a mile and in the right canyon, at least.
