I’ve been staring at this image since last winter. It’s an aerial view of the San Andreas Fault near the Carrizo Plain National Monument in southern/central California. I applied for a grant through my school and was awarded funding to travel there and to Pinnacles National Park, places where the fault is visible above ground. I will visit both next week and walk and observe, take photographs and record video, draw, write, and collect data. 

I’m going to try something new when I walk, too. Using GPS and a walking tracker app, I will map where I go and record the data within my walks. Part of me just wants to keep things simple and as they are, meaning walking with little accouterments, but I am curious about the addition of this app. Overall, I expect to gain insight and true visual understanding into the actual size of the fault, its textures, and its details, which I can only imagine from looking at photographs like the one above. 

Thanks for reading.
