A call for landslide photos for the USGS library archive

.

Lynn Highland, a Geographer with the Landslide Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is joining the USGS Library in a project to compile an archive of copyright free, high-resolution (if possible) photographs of all aspects of landslides. These contributed photos would be archived permanently with, and obtainable through, the USGS Library website, which can be accessed here:
 
http://libraryphoto.cr.usgs.gov/index.html

The photographs archived at the library are public domain and can be downloaded for free by anyone accessing the website. More information about the library and how it works can also be found at the website.

I wish I still had some photos taken from a landslide in San Diego about 5 years ago. Engineers were inspecting a site and the other side of the cliff broke apart with very expensive homes ripped in half.
