Road cut faults across from the Arches National Park Visitor Center. The large railroad splay of the Moab fault also can be seen in the roadside ditch right next to the visitor center parking lot

"This world is a wasteland where nothing can grow

I used to have strength but I ran out of hope

I know it’s my fault that I'm here all alone

This world is a wasteland

Please let me go, go, go, go, go, go, go" ~ Royal & the Serpent - “Wasteland”

A year ago yesterday, Wilma arrived at my door. To say my life changed is a bit dramatic, but truthfully it did. I am not sure if I love the dolls or the friends I made because of the dolls more... but my life is richer because these little plastic dolls call my casa home.

...with some incredible soft sediment deformation too.

From this vantage point a fault is visible in the canyon walls on the near left and middle right. This fault is most noticeable in the offset debris flow layer of that has been dropped down on the near side and pushed up of the far side.

Ripped off Franks talon - at vet getting bleeding to stop - he is okay but pissed off.

 

HOME NOW. Completely my fault. I saw my two crow friends sitting on the fence, so I offered them a treat. Frank was standing on the deck railing where I give the crows their treats, so I picked him up to place him down on the lawn. His talon got caught between two deck planks and as I lifted him down to the ground it ripped it right off.

 

Poor guy. He's fine now. It stopped bleeding and I have some ointment for it. I just couldn't get the damn thing to stop bleeding. I held him for 10 minutes applying pressure but it was still bleeding like a champ. All over me. Plus it's his left middle talon, and his right leg is the one with the bum knee. Gah! Nothing like paying emergency clinic prices for a broken nail, too.

 

I gave him some french fries and he's back chilling with his posse at home.

This is evidence of ice fractures on the surface of a frozen lake. The sound of the lake cracking was impressive and difficult to describe. It's similar to a billiards break but in a deep bass tone.

The elliptical crater at the center of this image of Mercury's surface is called Sveinsdóttir. Through its center runs a large fault line that Mercury explorers think formed when the entire planet cooled and shrank.

滿懷希望的用比我年紀還大的東方徬軸相機拍了很多黑白負片,也許這臺相機真的已經不敷使用,所有的照片跑焦的莫名奇妙...無意中髮現這張在我辦公室拍的還蠻有意思的,膠片也許就是這樣讓人驚喜?有人喜歡他那飄忽的不確定性,卻無法接受生活中的不如意...膠片如鏡,攝影如人生,早一天看清楚自己,也許就能夠早一天領悟到快樂...可惜,我不是這樣一個人...

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.

Statue équestre de Napoléon 1er

MONTEREAU-FAULT-YONNE HISTOIRE, NAPOLÉON I

 

En vous baladant à Montereau-Fault-Yonne, la statue équestre de Napoléon Ier vous accueillera.

 

Cette oeuvre de bronze édifiée en 1867 créée par Charles-Pierre-Victor Pajol (1812-1896), fils aîné du général Claude-Pierre Pajol qui mena une charge héroïque et déterminante dans la bataille de Montereau le 18 février 1814. Cette statue est dotée d’un piédestal en granit orné de deux hauts-reliefs en bronze dont l’un représente cette charge.

 

Il est important de rappeler que Napoléon livra cette bataille depuis les hauteurs de Surville d’où il prononça la célèbre phrase « Ne craignez rien mes amis, le boulet qui doit me tuer, n’est pas encore fondu ». Après huit heures de combat acharné, Napoléon enlève les ponts de Montereau. C’est l’une des toutes dernières victoires de l’Empereur.

   

Katie Frei and Houdini pick up a fault in the jumping test. They finished 34th out of 76, one of only 36 to complete all three days successfully.

 

It's a funny-looking fence, but still good for a HFF!

Faulted sandstone in the Jurassic of Utah, USA.

 

Faults are fractures or fracture systems in rocks along which there has been differential displacement. Faults are produced by either extensional stress, compressional stress, or shear stress. Movement along faults is usually in the form of sudden jolts, which produces earthquakes.

 

Within Utah's Arches National Park, minor faults are abundant in certain places. Shown here is faulting in the Navajo Sandstone, an Early Jurassic sand dune deposit. Small-scale faults are common in this unit and appear to represent soft-sediment deformation structures involving slight collapse of dunes.

Resevoir located on the San Andreas fault line in Northern California, approx 16 miles south of San Francisco

fault line? I think - north of San Francisco, comments welcome on the geology.
