Multiple levels (parallel planes; rock surface curves down to right) of slickensided fault surfaces in an outcrop of Marron Fm. andesitic volcanic rock (in south-central British Columbia), with one of my fingers for scale. Above my finger, the lighter coloured material is a mineral vein (fluid flowed along a fault plane and mineral precipitated from solution) with a patchy distribution now because it is partly eroded away.
The slickenlines present have two different groove lineation directions, diagonal down to the left and down to the right in both the purplish-brown host rock and the light brown vein material. They record two different steep (sub-vertical) directions of fault motion at this site back in the Eocene (ca. 50 million years ago), a time of post-orogenic normal faulting in this part of western Canada.

It is one of the best preserved and most beautiful structures on Curetes Street. It was built before 138 A.D by P.Quintilius and was dedicated to the Emperor Hadrian, who came to visit the city from Athens in 128 A.D The facade of the temple has four Corinthian columns supporting a curved arch, in the middle of which contains a relief of Tyche, goddess of victory
Inspired by Stephen Shore's gorgeous photo; U.S.10 Post Falls, Idaho and it's lyrical beauty and acceptance of the world around us I went this morning searching for just such a scene.
I looked for a location with minimal expression and inherent beauty, yet without drama. Found it 16 miles away.
Some photos are created in a snap or two. this one took me 10 minutes to compose and click.
Full of elements, yet those puddles are the most important ones.
They give your eyes a runway to take off and escape this place.
"Perpetual Anticipation:" This rock structure at Joshua Tree National Park is commonly called "penguin rock," and if you use a little imagination, you can see why. It looks a bit like a penguin standing and reaching upward with its beak. Commonly photographed with this unique juniper tree beside it that appears to bow down to the rock, I played around a bit with my own positioning and saw how even subtle movements changed the perspective between the two. Stand too high and the tree appeared much taller and further away from the rock and vice versa. From my chosen position, I liked how it looked like the penguin rock and bowing tree were more on even ground with each other and almost made contact. I wanted to capture them in close proximity, but leaving that tiny space between to reflect that perpetual anticipation one might feel when in a state of almost, as I myself had been wanting to photograph right here for so long-- the moment right before reaching that goal, seeing the finish line at a race, almost kissing a loved one, etc., and reminding us to enjoy the journey leading up to all these special moments. (Photo available in square aspect ratio sizes, eg., 20 x 20, 40 x 40, etc.).
