unless i'm missing some joke, there is no ski lift there. This town is actually in a valley, and that mountain is 50 miles away. the thing on the left is the entrance to a campground.
I think I know what your talking about, and that is a stop sign ahead, sign (first stop sign in 300 miles, so people don't expect it) under a telephone wire.
clone stamp is a pretty bad tool i like using healing brush tool, with the setting on "replace" instead of normal, because using normal on clone stamp and healing brush makes it like blurry

Haha nice, hadn't heard of that brush before. Seems to do the same thing, but it seems to render the selection for a moment and appears smoother after.
