Parkfield Bridge (over Little Cholame Creek) by creep and slippage along the San Andreas Fault, Parkfield, Monterey County, California

Deformation of the Parkfield Bridge by the San Andreas Fault

This photograph was shot about 2 1/2 years after the most recent earthquake in the area and thus includes deformation due to aseismic creep and fault movement associated with earthquake. View to the west.

  1. That's an older pre-drought pic as it hasn't been that green out there even in Spring in several years! It says in the menu at the Parkfield Cafe located a half-mile behind the photographer "If it begins to rattle and shake, get under the table and eat your steak."
