I thought this was a nice shot of Telescope Peak which is in the distance. Of course the focal point of this pic is not the peak, but the Desert Sunflower, but the contrast between flower and snow-covered peak is a good one, I think! This was taken in March 2005. The flowers were amazing in Death Valley that spring!

Voted 10/10 | I appreciate your humility, but I'll say it IS a nice shot, a very nice one.
By the way, I read your Kelso Dunes page and was disappointed by the comments made by the low voter, and I agree with the points you made in response. In fact, I am going to do a Eureka Dunes page in the next few days, and I will use similar reasons as yours for posting it. I hope you'll see and enjoy the page.

Hasn't voted | Thanks for your comments. As I recall this was one of the first shots I posted to Summitpost and I wasn't sure if it was a shot people would appreciate. Glad to see people like it!
It was also disappointing to me to get a low vote, and not for the lack of quality of the page. And I will be sure to visit your Eureka Dunes page! | | Posted Oct 17, 2006 1:49 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Right now, I'm leaning toward posting Eureka as an Area/Range page rather than a Mountain/Rock since, unlike the Great Sand Dunes in CO, there aren't any named dunes I know of, and since the SP Create Page defines Mountain/Rock as peaks, crags, walls and boulders, clearly knocking dunes from contention (but that gets us back to whether a dune is a peak-- I guess the lack of a specific name is the basis of my decision). However, I still find it extremely petty what that person did-- she could have registered her complaint in other ways rather than using her vote weight in a bullying way just to enforce her own preferences. And you're right-- it clearly wasn't about the quality of the page. Small, very small.

Hasn't voted | Not all landforms fall into such neat categories - I think it would be fine to do Eureka Dunes as an area/range or peak - or maybe a custom object? | | Posted Oct 18, 2006 3:10 am |
| | Bob Sihler | Re: You | |
Voted 10/10 | Well, it's up now, right or wrong-- as an Area/Range and also attached to your Death Valley page.
