I look at this picture and mostly see the faults, the faults of the flower and the faults of using equipment that, for this purpose, feels like doing delicate work with a chainsaw.
Behind again. This week has been a constant adventure in the unexpected. A (way too young) friend of mine had a stroke. Then the hurricane, but so many others got it so much worse than we did here. Things go on.
just a different composition of "flooding into the mountain" and "follow the river". which one do you like best?
Look closely and you can see the horse's front hoof has knocked the top bar off its mount.

A random event, I think. I was getting into the rune essence mining area when this happen, then I got a few rewards(they call it compensation) for getting out of here.

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.

Beecher’s Fault, the Queens-based band cofounded by Ben Taylor ’10, returned to Boston in January 2014 to play at the Middle East Bar in Cambridge.
Photoshoot with the band Cascadia Fault Line, 13th of April, while they were recording some songs in the Nordic Church, Liverpool, England.
Tomales Bay is what makes Point Reyes a peninsula; under the bay runs the San Andreas Fault.
I knew Crystal Springs Reservoir on the San Francisco Peninsula is also over the San Andreas Fault, so I went and looked at the satellite view. Sure enough, you can see that Tomales Bay and Crystal Springs Reservoir line up (or, more easily, that CA Highway 1 and Interstate 280, which follow these bodies of water, line up).

Fissures and faults (often water-filled) in Iceland's Thingvellir National Park. The North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart here, creating the rift valley we were crossing. Hence the fissures, which they've built bridges over. Seen on our Golden Circle tour from Reykjavik.
although this photo suffers from distortion, it really is the linear san andreas fault trace that you can see here.
In places, the collision of the two plates that created the San Andreas Fault is clearly visible as it traverses California, as shown in this photo of the Carrizo Plain 100 m north of Los Angeles.
La Falla de San Andrés
En algunos lugares, la colisión de las dos placas que creó la Falla de San Andrés es claramente visible, atravesando California. La falla se muestra aquí, en la Llanura Carrizo, 100 millas al norte de Los Ángeles.
