outstanding capture Lois! the clouds are just amazing!
Lois Bryan replied
thank you, Gerry, so much!!! Yes, it was an amazing sight … I almost wish I’d had a movie camera … the lowest layer of clouds there … in the center, were actually flowing UP the left side of the mountains there … like a slow-motion waterfall in reverse!!!!

Oh how wonderfully glorious and what a stunning piece of the Creation!
The other words which came to mind when I saw it were ‘I lift my eyes unto the hills’.
Such clarity, serenity, peace…crystal clear and still. The composition is perfect and I love the light touching the topes of the ripples in the water and tiny waves as the reach the sandy shore.
Heavenly!
: ))))
Lois Bryan replied
Jan … I’m breathless with gratitude for your lovely note!!! Thank you sooo much!!! I’m so glad you liked this one!!! It was an incredible sight … the low lying clouds there in the center were actually swirling UP the side of the mountain to the left side like a slow-motion river in reverse!! I almost wished I’d had a movie camera!!!

Christopher E...
outstanding depth on this shot, love that fog resting between the mountains, lighting is perfect!
Lois Bryan replied
My most sincere thanks for your kind comment!!! This particular image was probably more suited to a moving camera as the fog cloud was actually flowing UP the side of the mountain to the left there … (like a waterfall in reverse!) one of the most amazing sights I’ve ever seen!!!! A glorious morning, to be sure!!!! Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate it!!!

I love how the clouds lift the eye up to and beyond the highest point.
Lois Bryan replied
Dayonda!!! I’m sooo glad you like this one!! I must confess, I wasn’t sure if it was okay for your group or not, lol, so this was kind of a throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks kind of thing!! you must think I’m nutz, but I put it in originally for your newest challenge, then decided on a different shot!!! ROFL!! Oh well … it’s still a woman’s prerogative to change her mind, right?? Hugzz!!
