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.
