Dear Kid,

This may be part of what you are looking for....can't help with the National Parks....I only save what Ivan and Joe say and they haven't commented on the National Parks

here is a good definition of relief  compiled by Laury Dizengremel at http://www.bronze-busts.com/sculpture_dictionary_sculpture_glossary.html    Relief In sculpture, any work that projects from the background. Reliefs are classified by degree of projection. Relief sculpture is distinguished  from sculpture in the round. In a bas relief (low relief or basso-relievo in Italian), the figures project only slightly and no part is entirely  detached from the background (as in medals, coins, or areas of large reliefs in  which the chief effect is produced by the play of light and shadow). In a  haut relief sculpture (high relief or alto-rilievo), the figures project at  least half of their natural circumference from the background. Between these  two is the demi relief (half-relief or mezzo-relievo). The lowest degree of relief in which the projection barely exceeds the thickness of a sheet  of paper is called a crushed relief (relievo sticciato or schiacciato).  There is also a
 relief in reverse, called hollow relief, in which all the  carving lies within a hollowed-out area below the surface plane, and which,  through an illusion of depth and roundness, looks like raised relief. Hollow  relief, also called sunk or concave relief (cavo-relievo), incised relief (intaglio-rilievato) are the kind of carving done on gems by the Greeks  and Romans. Reliefs may be carved from hard materials or modelled in wet  clay, softened wax, or plaster. Reliefs are often elements of architectural sculpture. ----- Original Message -----  From: "dick carter"  To:  Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 7:34 PM Subject: [Woodcarver] "High" & "Deep" - Question
