A sidewalk used by earthquake scientists in the Bay Area has been destroyed

July 6, 2016

Here's an interesting article from The LA Times highlighting the battle between man-made objects and natural forces. This sidewalk in the Bay Area sits right on the Hayward Fault and its gradual misalignment over the years has given earthquake scientists a real-world gauge of just how much the plates underneath the city are moving. Scientists have long predicted that this area will be ground zero for a massive earthquake and one look at just how much the sidewalk, houses, and roadways are moving above it means they are probably right. It's just a matter of time...

You can see just how much the sidewalk has moved over the years in these photos.

The LA Times article was written however because the city recently fixed the jutting sidewalk. I guess nobody told them?

One of my favorite Brutalist structures, the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. state office building. It is a giant concrete building shaped like an African mask (it has "eyes" on the side).

#filmscan #6x7 A truly great and funny guy, @ryanmosse! That time we hung out at Times Square when it only had 4 train lines...
Sorry @hermanthreetimes, we decided to put this one here instead! #stupid35
This is how I started the year -- in Atlanta exploring quarries and trying to hop fences into train yards in the Bronx (it didn't work out). Then I photographed some brooms in Brooklyn. #contactsheets #contactsheet #filmscan #6x7
After 13 years at the foot of the Ace Hotel, Project No. 8 has closed its doors for good.
