Dear Geo-researchers
It is invited openly to make it a very learning RG platform by sharing his/her best outcrop picture of geological fold and faults with comments.
With best regards

A fractured rock containing an anticline near Darra Adam Khel of Frontier Region Kohat, Pakistan. Many Coal Mines are operating in the vicinity.
brilliant question!
Here is the plane of the Cadillac Fault, Abitibi, Quebec. Dozens of gold mines along it. The rock behind is Archean gold-bearing greywacke.
Michael! Thanks for sharing this picture and I can say that you understand my proposal fully.
There is a picture snapped near Margalla region, Pakistan. Here recumbent fold and an associated fault forming a structure having close affinity with the drag type folding.

One of the rare pictures for drag folding along Nathiagali thrust. Picture taken during field excursion in 2016.
A collection of outcrop photos having traced fold and fault features from quaternary deposits (neotectonic features) is presented with due permission from Rayees Ahmad Shah.

Outcrop of the Northern Suture Zone (Main Karakorum Thrust) on Taghafiri Ridge, extending north from Rakaposhi Mountain and above the town of Minapin, Gilgit-Baltistan: personal photo (looking northwest), 1986; google earth (looking west), 2016. The shear zone here consists of multiple ultrabasic phyllitic mylonite units. The bright yellowish white rock is boudinaged actinolite schist. There is also talc-dolomite schist and chlorite schist with cubic pyrite. The ridge rises to Rakaposhi peak (to the south and left) which is ophiolitic. The Northern Suture Zone lies within the upper stratigraphic section of the ophiolitic sequence, which is overturned and youngs downsection and to the north (dipping steeply south).
Dear Sir Michael Angell
Thanks for a good addition.
With best regards
