A vertical photograph of a steep, wooded hillside along the Kumano Kodo trail in Japan. The slope is covered with a green erosion control net, or 'geotextile,' that stretches upward. The image captures the slow, persistent process of erosion that the net is designed to combat, visually reflecting the post's title, 'creep'.
