Flying over the Sespe Wilderness, January 2006
 
Folded former ocean floor is upturned into mountain ranges near the "big bend" in the San Andreas Fault.
 
Cowhead Potrero mountian on the left, and Quatal Canyon and its eponymous road running up its middle.
 
On the far left, fog in the Central Valley. Snow-coverd Mt. Piños is in the lower left. Frazier Moutnain in the middle.
 
Mt Piños and Sawmill Mountain, above Mill Potrero Valley.
 
Park Canyon. Not sure if this burned in the Day Fire.
 
Under snow, Mount Piños. Below that, Lilly Meadows. To the right of Piños, Seymour Sage Flat.
 
Curved layers of tertiary sedimentary rock topped by Dripping Springs and Pidgeon Flat.
 
A nameless peak in the Sespe Wilderness. This area later burned in the Day Fire.
 
I believe this is the west face of the land that has Pidgeon Flat on top. About 34° 32' 12" N and 118° 56' W.

I believe this is the condor release point at the south end of the Sespe Wilderness.
 
Layers of former ocean floor, turned toward the vertical, at the condor release point.
 
In the middle of the flat area beyond the ridge is Hole-in-the-wall.
 
Melting mountains above Haines Canyon.
 
Piru and Castaic Lakes.

The Pidgeon Flat side face is amazing. I thought it was a JPEG error!

Fascinating geological formations -- thank you for the photos and the commentary. I wish you would fly over Sandia Mountain in New Mexico and do the same kind of tabblo!
