This is likely the last of these we will ever get to see.

Is that the best they've got up in the UP? They're pretty cool as far as hills go but they seem a bit like those 'meh' mountains that jut out from the Cascades into the middle of Seattle in terms of mountains. Not to spoil the Michigan fun or anything...
I'm sure they're the best anywhere between the Rockies and the Appalachians.

Heh, the Porkies are I believe the highest mountains in the UP (besides Mount Bohemia). They look better in person IMO, since you can more easily see the height.

James Nachtwey has to be my favourite photographer in the world, I absolutely love his style.

There are many more, sometimes shocking images, to be found on VII Photo.

Of course it's a tilted picture. The sharp edges are peaks not cliff edges. Sand dunes just don't form that way. If you look at where the car tracks are in the bottom righthand corner, they all appear to have driven along a steep hill side when there's actually a perfectly flat bit they could have driven on. Of course this wouldn't have been the case. it's just the tilted photo showing the angled edge as a flat bit and the flat bit as an angled edge.

And I found this one:

The article I found it in is here:
http://www.universetoday.com/2010/02/08/launch/
And following the link to the photographer's blog it seems that this is his only version. His blog links to the article as the only place he has it posted.

er... lemme see.
Best I can do is link you to the original site, there's a few links there to related news, so maybe you can work it out from there?
