San Andreas Fault

This picture taken from Keys View in the San Bernardino Mountains in Joshua Tree National Park, California.  The fog/smog obscured some of the photo making it hard to see the San Andreas Fault line but if one looks at the smaller hills (Indio Hills), center just above small darken area, the fault line runs just in front of these Hills.  To the right of this photo, same hills, the fault line actually splits to form two faults.  What is real amazing about this is that if I returned to the same place next year I would be two inches to the southeast.  The corresponding spot on the distant Santa Rosa Mountains will be two inches farther northwest.  This being compliments of the San Andreas Fault.
