This EREP high-definition color photograph of the Uncompahgre Plateau area of Colorado was taken in June of 1973 by the Earth Terrain Camera (Skylab Experiment S190B) of the Skylab's Multi-spectral Photographic Facility during the Skylab-2 mission. High-definition color film was considered best for delineation of vegetation boundaries. In most cases, Skylab stereoscopic data provided the best identification of vegetation complexes and delineation of vegetation boundaries, particularly in areas where changes in release were related to changes in vegetation type (a common occurrence in wild-land vegetation communities).
