City Engineer Dave Desfosses surveys a huge snow pile Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011, on Pierce Island in Portsmouth, N.H., where the city has been dumping snow from downtown.

Surveying a mountain of snow in New Hampshire

When I first spotted this image it looked like the surveyor was standing on top of a real mountain.

A great idea comes of this:

Why not shape this "Mountain" like some famous massifs such as Everest, k2, Pumori, The Eiger, Ben Lomond, and others. Maybe carve a Mt. Rushmore for good measure and charge a modest fee for folks who want to be photographed in front of it to help offset the cost of moving the mound.

Who says phrogs can't think. Ribbit, and a very COOL picture as well.
