Fractured limestone faults are a feature of the coastal cliffs of Bear Island (Bjørnøya), Svalbard, Norway.
Die unscheinbaren Risse in der Asphaltdecke der Straße sind direkter, sichtbarer Teil der San Jacinto Fault, eines Hauptgraben der San Andreas Fault. => ca. alle 9 Jahre ein Beben der Stufe 6...
Apparently, I'm still stuck in flashback mode. Here's a shot of the Bright Angel Fault section of The Grand Canyon. From 2007.

Prepare to tldr
Early this year I intended to become more active within the community, it was great getting back into the hobby I loved. I had a new project and an offer to participate in a book by Megz.
And then we got pregnant. I say we because if I said "my wife got pregnant" that would infer that it was her fault or a bad thing, which it totally isn't, it's absolutely wonderful. Except my LEGO room turned into a freakin nursery over night. One moment I was happily constructing the biggest single project I had ever attempted and preparing to spend an obscene amount of money to make it even bigger, the next I'm contemplating where the hell I am going to put my huge collection of plastic toys to make room for "the fruit of my loins" (I can't beleive that was ever a thing people said).
Forget the incredible pain of pregnancy, the physical sacrifice that is carrying a child, the indignanty of being compared to a small water craft (I swear I didn't ... I just thought it ... about another lady who was pregnant), no, THIS is sacrifice. THIS is love. THIS is pain. Goodbye, sweet man-cave.
So yeah. I got over that (mostly). And, wow! Another kid. Which of course meant repainting the entire house. $650 worth of paint later and I was going to work to wind down. I even mistakenly refered to work as "home" in some kind of perverse Fraudian slip while talking to my boss. Hilarious, except it wasn't. But on the plus side, painting, like any other skill, is a matter of practice and experience. And I was getting plently of experience.
One thing I learned - besides paint comes out of your hair alot easier than it comes out of clothes - is that when you continually abuse your hands by working with them every day (!) you loose a great deal of fine motor control. As a legendary rock guitarist (in my mind), a LEGO Technician (yes that is a thing, really) and an elite E-Sports professional (ok , now I'm just being stupid) one kind of relies on fine motor control. And the life lesson here kids is "real work is not fun."
So, with my LEGO room gone I took my copy of Sun Tzu's Art of war and did what any second century Chinese general would do and turned defeat into success. I turned the whole freakin house into a LEGO room. Well, to be honest, there was really nowhere else for it to go. We have an open plan house with a combined living / dining / kitchen / study area, so yeah, LEGO house. Take that Ed Sheeran!
Somewhere amongst all this I managed to complete pics for Megs book and when it finally arrived (because when you live in Australia stuff takes a LONG time to get here) my zombie-tradsman, paint-caked hands could barely flip through the pages. But when I did, needless to say that I was pretty freaking impressed. Best fan publication to date. If you haven't got a copy you should click on the Amazon link at the top of this post and buy it now while it's on special. Crap, buy two. Give one to your mum, she'll love you the more for it. I should note that none of the proceeds go to the Buy Aaron An Extension So He Can Have A New Man Cave Foundation. Donations to that particular charity are welcome through Pay Pal, details provided on request and complely non-tax deductable - just in case any of you are that gullable.
So to make a long story even longer, my son is due Christmas Day, so it could be a rush to the hospital at any minute. It doesn't make any sense when you see it in print, but in spite of all this I'm going to have more time on my hands, which means more time for me to inflict my special brand plastic banality upon you flickrites.
Fairly warned be thee says I

Ochil Hills (Scottish Gaelic: Monadh Ochail - from a Celtic word root, compare Old Welsh uchel meaning 'high') is a range of hills in Scotland north of the Forth valley bordered by the towns of Stirling, Alloa, Kinross, Auchterarder and Perth. The only major roads crossing the hills pass through Glen Devon/Glen Eagles and Glenfarg, the latter now largely replaced except for local traffic by the M90 Edinburgh-Perth motorway cutting through the eastern foothills. The hills are part of a Devonian lava extrusion whose appearance today is largely due to the Ochil Fault which results in the southern face of the hills forming an escarpment. The plateau is undulating with no prominent peak, the highest point being Ben Cleuch at 721 m The south-flowing burns have cut deep ravines including Dollar Glen, Silver Glen and Alva Glen, often only passable with the aid of wooden walkways. Historically, the hills, combined with the town being built at the lowest bridge-point on the River Forth, led to Stirling's importance as a main gateway to the Highlands. They also acted as a boundary to the Kingdom of Fife. Castle Campbell was built at the head of Dollar Glen in the late 15th century (an earlier castle on the site being called "Castle Gloom") mainly as a very visible symbol of the Campbell domination of the area. Sheriffmuir, the site of the 1715 battle of the Jacobite rising is on the northern slopes of the hills. In the early Industrial Revolution, several mill towns such as Tillicoultry, Alva and Menstrie (the Hillfoots Villages) grew up in the shadow of the Ochils to tap the water power. Some of the mills are open today as museums. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochil_Hills
Alloa (Scottish Gaelic: Alamhagh, possibly meaning "rock plain") is a town in Clackmannanshire in the Central Lowlands of Scotland, on the north bank of the Firth of Forth close to the foot of the Ochil Hills 5.5 miles (8.9 km) east of Stirling and 7.9 miles (12.7 km) north of Falkirk. The town, formerly a burgh of barony, is the administrative centre of Clackmannanshire council. The economy relied heavily on trade through its port with mainland Europe, but competition from modern ports saw it close in 1970. The economy is now centred on retail and leisure after the closure of major industries; only one brewer and one glassmaker survive today. Alloa had a population of 18,989 at the 2001 census. Sir Robert Erskine was granted the lands of Alloa and its environs in 1368 for services to King David II and he and his descendants were good stewards, developing the estates and innovating. The Earl of Mar owned many of the coal mines, and Robert Bald, a local mining engineer, was contracted to provide water power from the Gartmorn Dam to operate the mines and other industries. Good water supplies and the availability of barley from the carselands encouraged George Younger to set up a brewery in the 1760s and he was soon followed by others. Alloa became one of Scotland's premier brewing centres. Unfortunately, the 6th Earl of Mar, who oversaw many far-reaching developments including substantial harbour improvements, a customs house and the building of the Gartmorn Dam, was forced to flee the country and forfeit his lands after disastrously backing the Jacobite cause in 1715. However, his brother was allowed to purchase the forfeited lands and future generations continued the tradition of creative industry by launching a glass-works in 1750 and laying one of Scotland's earliest railways (a waggonway) from the Sauchie mines to down to the harbour in around 1766. Before 1775, the colliers were attached to the properties in which they were born and were virtual serfs or slaves, supported by the master. After an Act of Parliament which abolished the system, the colliers could move between collieries at will, and they were supported in their needs by the Alloa Colliers' Fund or Friendly Society which was founded in 1775. Traces of the waggonway and the Gartmorn Dam can still be seen today, and although the dam is no longer used for energy production or water supply, it is well used for fishing and leisure purposes. The Clackmannashire Library was founded at Alloa in 1797 and it contained upwards of 1500 volumes. After the improvements were made to the harbour during the 18th century, Alloa thrived as a river port through which the products of Glasgow manufacture were exported to continental Europe. At that time, and until the 1950s, the main industry to the north and east of the town was coal mining. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloa

To me this is the most vibrant display of colour in the fall.
The Aspy Fault runs inland for about 40 kilometres (24 miles) through Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
Land masses move and separate along fault lines, geologists can determine what land masses might once have been connected. Cape Breton may have been joined to Africa at one time.

Lately found out that it was my fault to have a lot images overexposed: when cocking the shutter i moved the aperture tab...
"The Maasai Mara lies in the Great Rift Valley, which is a fault line some 3,500 miles (5,600km) long stretching from Ethiopia’s Red Sea through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, and into Mozambique. Here the valley is wide, and a towering escarpment can be seen in the hazy distance.
The animals are at liberty to move outside the park into huge areas known as ‘dispersal areas’. There can be as much wildlife roaming outside the park as inside. Many Maasai villages are located in the ‘dispersal areas’ and they have, over centuries, developed a synergetic relationship with the wildlife." (Source: Basecampexplorer.com)
The lush savannah grasslands dotted with acacia trees greet you on the way to your camp. We stayed in the 50,000-acre Mara Naboisho Conservancy within the Maasai Mara ecosystem.
Note: You will only see one Impala stag responsible for the breeding rights to this herd of females

Was out and about the parish this morning and was nearby to Dalston so got a quick shot of the Colas 60 through the points which I had passed earlier on the passenger train, I've shunted many a train in and out of here but some unlucky bugger has come a cropper this morning.
Looks like everyone ok but some explaining to be done.
Never did like those points nor does this loco by the looks..
When we had a chat about xenoliths in the frankly otherwise drab Eugowra Granite in which our temple of democracy is clad I promised to show you some geology down the way because the denizens in this place don't trust me with a camera. I have delivered.
There's less of it than there was. The politicians in the Parliament House have fewer connections to the outside world, or so it seems, than the House itself. One of those connections is a bridge flying over State Circle from Commonwealth Avenue. I'm sure it wasn't necessary but in building that bridge they scraped away a big chunk above what you see here. Still, it remains impressive.
At the bottom of the frame is the State Circle Shale, Early Silurian in age and deposited in deep water. On top of this was the conformably deposited Black Mountain Sandstone. The whole lot lifted up by orogenic forces so that deposition ceased and erosion cut down into these rocks. Up the hill a bit, some of the Black Mountain Sandstone remained. Down here it was all eroded away.
When this part of the world found itself beneath the sea again, the Camp Hill Sandstone was deposited unconformably on top. That's it at the top of this frame. You can see by the tilting and faulting obvious in this shot that this wasn't the end of the story. But it's enough for me to feel comfortable that my promise has been kept.

Fault-propagation Folding. This tight fold at Butte Fault in Lava Canyon along the Colorado River at mile 65.5 is a spectacular example of a progression from folding to faulting. The Tapeats Sandstone has been deformed here before rupture along a fault plane. Vertical displacement along the fault totaled about 3,500 feet. Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino Co., Arizona.
This was all my own fault !
The first running of 4S92, 1905 Tees Dock - Mossend Intermodal, was on the evening of the 15th October 2018. So keeping an eye on its movement north I decided to head to Drem to catch a photograph of it. I was too busy keeping an eye on it on Railcam that when I had set up on the platform at Drem I had forgotten all about the last North Berwick service. Too late to move and 4S92 running early this is the result as the North Berwick service had arrived early and is sitting waiting on its booked departure time of 2337 !
380113 sits in Drem station with 2Y12, 2313 Edinburgh Waverley - North Berwick ScotRail service as 66057 speeds through Drem with 4S92 at 2336.
The only good thing about this is that all the containers where on the rear
A portion of our observation shows layered bedrock that has been faulted and tilted.
These layers were likely horizontal when the materials were first deposited, but are now tilted to high angles, approaching 90 degrees, so we get a good cross-sectional view from a bird’s-eye view.
The layers have distinctive colors, textures, and thicknesses, so it is easy to correlate layers from place to place. That makes it easy to measure the offset along the many faults breaking the layers.
