Awesome Christopher – amazing how something so devistated (from fire?) can be so beautiful…............I love the gorgeous colors in this; beautiful dof and nice composition. I agree with Carl about the lens flare; I don’t usually use those shots, but in this case, it is a plus.

Great shot reminds me of California after the fires! I thought this name as soon as I saw it “Sad Mountain in a purple funk” that would fit this photo! Very nice!
