Fault, Istanbul, 2000.
Looped video 6 minutes. Fireproof coverall with internal videoprojection and sound.
Shot from a boat on the Bosporus, above the faultline between Asia and Europe. Both shores were filmed simultaneously with mirrors at 90 degrees in front of the lens. The rocking of the boat makes the continents rub against each other, like in an earthquake. East and West struggle to form one horizon.
While walking along the beach, I discovered a prominent fault exposed in the rocks along the buff. The sedimentary layers are offset with the thin-bedded grey shales on the left side dropping down in relation to the thick-bedded orange sandstone on the right side.
Looking down toward the entrance of Arches National Park, a couple miles north of Moab. The Moab Fault runs along the road, and over the course of a few hundred thousand years, the cliffs on the near side of the road have sunk nearly 200 metres below the equivalent rock layers on the far side of the road.

I was told the other day that I'm the cause of the world's problems... so, instead of solving said problems... I just drew a comic about it.

Thrust faults are low-angle reverse faults, involving upward movement of the hanging wall and downward movement of the footwall. The fault planes of thrust faults are supposed to be less than 30 degrees from the horizontal, as seen in cross-section. Thrust faults, and reverse faults in general, form by compressional stress - they are common in mountain belts.
The light-colored rocks in the upper thrust plate are part of the basal Dunham Dolostone (upper Lower Cambrian). The gray-colored rocks in the lower thrust plate are part of the Iberville Formation (Middle Ordovician). The rocks look like shales, but they're not - they're intensely calcite-veined, dark gray lime mudstones (probably argillaceous).
Normally, one would not expect older rocks above younger rocks - that's an apparent violation of the Principle of Superposition. However, the principle only applies to non-disturbed/deformed rocks.
The Champlain Thrust Fault was active during the Taconic Orogeny, an Ordovician to Silurian mountain-building event involving the collision of a volcanic island arc with Laurentia (= the North American paleocontinent). The fault zone was also active during the subsequent Acadian Orogeny (Silurian to Devonian).
Locality: lakeshore cliff in small cove north of Lone Rock Point, northwestern side of the town of Burlington, northwestern Chittenden County, northwestern Vermont, USA (44° 29' 41.33" North latitude, 73° 14' 49.46" West longitude)

The Angelic Upstarts were excellent at the Bungalow Bar last night here in paisley, which had the punks bouncing on the dance floor resulting in the bouncers having to step in to prevent them falling onto the stage.
At one point they did where I had to pull the mic stand away from the guitarist as it fell into his Gibson guitar. December 22nd 2018 finished off the Upstarts Scottish tour here in Paisley before they headed off down south.
Thomas Mensforth (Mensi) gave his deepest sympathies for those friends lost, like Pete Shelly of the Buzzcocks who just recently passed away. As well as a bit of back and forth banter with the crowed before battering into their set which had us all singing along to the 70s punk band.
The only fault I had with the Bungalow from a photographer’s point of view was the lights. What they had pointed down at the guitarist belly, the centre light on the singer was on the floor. Plus the light above the drummer was on the bars logo and too high to see him. Though the bass player’s was on his face so he was either perfect or everyone else was dark in wide the shots.
So a few more spots either side of the stage pointing at the drummer and levelling up the others & all is well in the Bungalow Bar.
All in all an excellent gig and these are the photos, good band noisy….

Did about an hour geology review with Bruce of places we have been together in the Grand canyon
