SOME POINTERS:
Photos typically include their locations, so you can use locations as keywords too. You get more hits with shorter words, and fewer hits as you become increasingly specific with increasing numbers of keywords. It’s best to use singular rather than plural (eg “volcano” instead of “volcanoes”).
As some words are included in others (“salt” within “basalt,” for example) you might want to be more specific to avoid getting a bunch of irrelevant photos.
Or you can just scroll down and see the most recently added photos… Enjoy!

Download ImageWasatch Mtns, E edge of Basin-Range
The eastern edge: Mt. Timpanogos, in the Wasatch Range of Utah. Mt. Timpanogos is the second highest peak of the Wasatch Range, at an elevation of 11749′. The Wasatch Range rises along the Wasatch fault, which is an active fault, and so poses a significant earthquake hazard to the Salt Lake City region. As evidence of recent faulting, two wineglass canyons can be seen behind the fault on the right side of the photo. (ID: 477-89)
