Lynn, Rafe, Rob and others:

One thing I've always been curious about is what causes the topographical
map type of lines you see in the blue sky portion of this image:

???

I see this sort of artifact a lot in jpegs on the web.  Is this what is
called "jaggies?"  Do they show up in prints?

Thanks,
Dan
