I have left the circular format as proof that I shot this through my makeshift telephoto lens. No other processing of this S500 image taken June 18, 2005. Enjoy.

I tried an automatic color balance in Picture Windows 3.5, with this result. Certainly is not as "warm" a picture.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Harold

Jun 17, 2005 13:45 | #8 Interesting observation - I had not noticed the "I" until you mentioned it. I went back to the original image and blew it up. The "I" looks like it could have been painted on - I don't recall hearing about that. Obviously, the "C" had been tampered with at some point. The original painting of "CU" happened early in my life in Boulder - sometime after 1966. Over-painting it with reddish paint didn't do much to hide it. I don't know what could be done to erase the letters. Sandblasing would leave an obvious scar. Harold

Jun 17, 2005 15:15 | #10 What beautiful country, David. I hardly noticed the writing on the rocks. Itis interesting to consider our different view points, say regarding Indian pictographs, and modern day graffiti. At least the Indians seemed to be relating issues of life, and not leaving their signatures. Harold
