Deze tekst vond ik bij de foto in kwestie op de site van wunderground:
[Quote]4. Photos of individual hailstones tend to be pretty boring, even if they are monsters like the Vivian, South Dakota 7” record-holder. Unfortunately, no one seems to have ever bothered to take a good photograph of the landscape littered with, say 5-7” diameter, hailstones before. There have, however, been several fascinating images of great hail accumulations but none that can beat this. Here hail cliffs some 15 feet high were formed in a wash near Clayton, New Mexico following a hailstorm on August 13, 2004. The hail was swept into the creek by heavy rain and backed up behind a clogged culvert. This photo was taken, I believe, the following day after the creek cut a path through the hail accumulation. The banks of hail resemble a glacier front!. Photo by Barbara Podzemny.
