Where on Google Earth #553

Ole led us into a geological mess in WoGE #552. The mess confused me enough to take a picture shot by another tourist as a reference to the identity of the shown terrestrial clutter. Felix was relieved not having to draw the map of the puzzle and I was relieved, after a long search, to have found the exact location. Finally I could go to bed in peace with myself, although I was a bit concerned about the fact that my touristic nature was exposed. 

Happily, Ole didn't make this WoGE TOO easy. If I'll ever get there in my dreams I'll be sure to have my camera with me to take some beautiful shots. ;-)
Still I'm not sure about the fault lines. I don't know if the Zihab - Grammar is one fault line or if it contents of two fault lines. Surely it it is a messy accommodation zone between two trust faults close to or on the Eyvanekey Plateau in the northern part of Iran.

One thing I'm sure about: the next WoGE is not a big puzzle...

Where on Google Earth #551

In WoGE #550 Andrew took us back to his country where a mudslide in 2014 blocked the Trans-Canada Highway a third consecutive time since 2007 close to East Gate on Heather Mountain.The pre-historic landslide was reactivated in 1997 along pre-historic fault lines.

WoGE #551 doesn't show a landslide. It is up to you to answer the question where the shown picture can be found and to provide us with geological information of what we are looking at. The first one to provide us with the good answer will be the host to the next WoGE.
