Figure 2C. Oblique airphoto of the landslide; view toward east, 4/17/96 or 4/18/96 (PDQ Photography). A small landslide scar (in area of exposed black drain pipe) from 2/95 is visible to left of 4/96 slide blocks. Lower photo shows interpretation of the landslide. The three small pine trees marked by dots were at the top edge of the bluff. To the left of these trees is lawn, turf, and landscaped plants. Toward the toe of the slide are grass clippings and yard waste followed by trees and shrubs that were on the bluff slope. At the toe of the slide (former base of bluff), deposit includes rounded stones with barnacles and seaweed growing on them. This debris was transported from the shoreline to the slide toe.
