The Alluvial Fan of Roaring River. This geological formation was formed when the Lawn Lake Dam failed on July 15, 1982.

I get the impression from the low votes that some voters did not know about alluvial fans. There may have been some narrow-mindedness involved.

One comments says, "flat contrast". The histogram says otherwise, as nearly all 255 tones are represented. To increase contrast, one would have to push more pixels into blown out highlights and blocked up shadows.

Was hoping someone knew this term and would use it. The smudge in the upper left is a little distracting.
