Hi,
In the past, this is the sort of thing (i.e. of personal interest not germane to the point of this post/blog/community) I would have asked Jeff directly, but the email/messenger function seems to have disappeared & my curiosity compels me to risk annoying others/appearing a complete twit. About that photo:
1) Is it a photoshop/composite or is that slide really that close to town? That is one impressive avalanche, especially that close to an settlement (given how things tend to not stay if built in or near slide zones) & is all the more surprising because the slopes appear too steep to allow accumulations that would produce such a large release.
2) Is that Telluride? It looks to be a North American (at the 99% confidence level) mining town in the Rockies (at the 95% CL, mountains look too sheer for the volcanic ranges) and I can’t think of any that close to similar mountains in WY or MT, so I’m guessing CO, UT, BC or AB & am only coming up with Telluride (it looks to me a lot like Leadville but that’s not close enough to the mountains), but neither the mountains nor the buildings look right.
Thanks for humoring the off-topic question, but my curiosity burns so very bright.
Cheers,
Mark
