Just put some more samples on my web page, so if anybody is interested:

http://www.schunter.etc.tu-bs.de/~chris/erosion1.html

I also included an "inverse version" with rounded hills, it does not look as bad
as i thought :-)  Maybe I could try out some mixtures...

That would be a relatively young mountain in your photo.

That is an example of water erosion, not wind. I have attached a photo from Glacier
Park to demonstrate...

I had said (and someone else was before me) about how the material being
carried away would make a lot of difference.  Good example of that.
Come on now, someone could render a copy of this photo can they not?  No
image mapping allowed though.

Someone would be quick to point out that the cloud in the center was
not realistic in appearance. Me for example :)

Yes, you are correct. It only took 28 days, too (look at the post times). I am
immensely proud of my accomplishment. If you look closely, you will also
notice I modelled and very accurately textured some helicopter-window
plexiglass right in front of the camera. Come on, if Gilles can make Wet Bird,
who's to say I can't make this? :-) Of course, I owe a lot of thanks to Nathan
for all the great MegaPOV features.

Your pict. shows a lot of different aspects of erosion: on the lower parts,
there is water erosion in "soft materials".  I don't see much wind erosion
anywhere.  

Most erosion effects on massive mountains IMO are "thermal erosion", meaning the
destruction of the rock structure due to temperature changes.  Of course, water
and wind influence these effects in certain ways.  

I think both photos show very much of this type of erosion, but it is not easy
to simulate, because it much depends on the internal structure of the rock.
