Depends on the soil. In the last 5 years, I've seen 20 feet of ground disappear off the back of the family farm.

And then there's the lighting of the photo. The angle of the sun and whether it's flat cloudy light or a harsh clear day makes a huge difference.

Soil? That's ROCK man, not dirt piled up 14,000 feet high. The Rocky mountains are millions of years old; you're not going to see visible errosion in 90 years or they'd have been gone before any of us were here to see them.

I know about the lighting differences, I was just commenting the green looked washed out compared to grayscale. I've taken pictures of mountains on the East coast, in Colorado, Hawaii, and China. And every single time I look at the pictures I think "that doesn't do it any justice compared to seeing it in person". Mostly because the greens and blues seem to run together, so I was impressed with the detail in that came through in the subtle differences of the black and white picture. That's all.

Will do. Now that I can come up for air with the thing finished and shipped to the publisher, can hang the hat around here more often.

Hey marko... Picked up a sweet Buell Ulysses last summer.
