That would make a pretty quilt, wouldn't it?
But...it's not even natural!
You should see Nature's Monopoly Board! It's in Atlantic City!
UO: Exactly -- that's what really MAKES this postcard.
The "nature" implication makes it hilarious, yes, but what totally disqualifies it from boring is the foreground interest. Rocks, a tree and a human female plus the visual interest in the actual landscape make this quite pretty.
