More importantly what kind of lenses/filters do you use and how much of it is processing? It looks to me like you use a polarizing filter to great effect.

Most of the stuff I have shot over the years has been with a now lowly Nikon N90. Last year I bought an F100 off of ebay for next to nothing and just a few months ago I went with a digital body. All in all, the body doesn't matter much for landscape photography.
Lenses - previously a mix of modest glass. I just had to learn how to work with the limitations of each lens and how to maximize the positive aspects. The nice thing about inexpensive lenses is that you don't have to be too careful with them. Lately, I have upgraded a few. Again, ebay has been a big help.
Filters - Polarizer when it's called for. 81A "warming" filter for when shooting under blueish light. Split neutral density filter when it's needed.
Post processing - Not much. The game is to get it right when the shutter button is pressed. I usually do just a very little of messing with contrast, brightness and saturation. I want things to look good, but I don't want to make something that my eye/mind didn't see.
