    I think cammiecakes sums it up very well indeed.
    This is magnificent.
    The sense of scale provided by the smallness of the building is brilliant. The colour is fantastic. The compostion is great. It is just a superlative photo with great great feel and mood. Congratulations on taking such a brilliant image.

    A true landscape photographer …it doesn’t seem to matter if it is strong colour and form, hard-to-photograph snow, or deep greens and greys ..you get it right.

    This, as I’ve probably told you before, is the shot on your portfolio that clicks all my buttons. A magnificently moody mountain which looks different every time it’s viewed.

    Fantastic, I really love this angle as it shows a great sense of scale between Blaven and the surrounding countryside. I have a similar shot but not as atmospheric around Blaven

    Tucked in the folds of the mountain high
    That any would live here I know not why
    For the earth seems devoured by the lowering sky
    As the weather comes rolling down

    Tiny stone cottages centuries old
    Pull slopes about them to keep out the cold
    Tis a bonny life so I’m told
    As the weather comes rolling down

    The drama of storms encompasses all
    The constant damp from continual rainfall
    Yet many remain to answer the call
    As the weather comes rolling down

    Oh take me there where the sky meets the earth
    Where living is valued beyond monetary worth
    And comfort is the coziness of a good hearth
    As the weather comes rolling down

    adgray©2009 (Just then! lol)

    You have brought my poetry forth with this dramatic vision of the inclement weather rolling down!
    Thank you!
    Chookas! ♥

    You are most welcome!
    I’ll go check out some others …
    It has been a pleasure on this stormy Melbourne Spring Morn
    to wander through your visions of the world! <)
    Chookas! ♥
