The mountains on Skye are often described as "alpine," but they are not alpine
in height, but rather in the fact they are rather inspired examples of glacial
art. Yes, I believe glaciers create art, whether cognitively or not. <g> The
green does give it away as a lower altitude, and the monochrome is non-location
specific and more dramatic, but I suspect the color version will wind up on our
wall because Joan will argue (with a great deal of merit, I might add) that the
purpose of the print is not only to display a lovely print, but also to evoke
memories of a fabulous vacation.
