Did someone mention winter? Here is a small portion of a shot I took back in March - I'm sure a lot of detail was crushed during jpg compression but you can probably get the idea. 100% view of a 10" tall slice (x 100" wide, native file size - view it at 100%)...

Winter slice

As a puzzle, this would be my worst nightmare. Pretty cool!

Dang! I have to hide all my Photoshop palettes just to view this at 25 percent. It's an amazing image Tim.

Tim, great shot it reminds me of something that Bev Doolittle would paint. Is there a hidden animal for us to find in there?

No hidden animal that I know of but if there was a lizard or little bird out there somewhere I bet it could be seen. I may have to blend in a shot of elk or something to see what it looks like.

I had originally picked this file to use as one of the new 2009 calendar images, but when I reduced it down for the 2.5" x 2.5" small photo on the back cover of the calendar it really went to nothing so I replaced it. Even the 12" x 12" version for the calendar did not look too good - really needs to be a print at least several feet wide. That is one of the funny things about all of this high-res race we have been in for a number of years - we reached the point a long time ago that you can't really see the detail the big sensors capture until you blow it up really large - but as many of you saw during your visit here, once you do blow them up really big it is amazing how much detail is there...
