Yes, it does look

Voted 10/10

like something out of Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory. Have you been to
the San Juan Batista Mission? They
have flowers there, too. You can also
see the San Andreas faultline. Hey, we
all have our faults, right? Take care!

	Hasn't voted	I've never been to that mission, but I will have to check it out! I have seen the fault line of the San Andreas at other points, including running right through the back of this photo, against the hills in the backdrop if I'm not mistaken. I think that is the eastern side of the rift zone. I will have to look that up. Cheers!

	Hasn't voted	My suspicions were correct. Just against those foothills in the back of the shot is the San Andreas fault. Between the light colored hills and the dark ones. Cheers

	Voted 10/10	Rift zones and beautiful flowers! You can't go wrong with that combination! Now, they just need to bring the gasoline prices down, so I can visit CA. Or, I will win the lottery, whichever happens next. Nice photo, man!!
