Post one of two: Shadow Mountains

At this time in the morning, the shadows of the tiny bits of snow we have cast huge. It's like looking at the Guilin Mountains.

Guilin Mountains, photo by Hiroji Kubota, from this site


See?



Can't you imagine wandering there, with your sturdy pack horse carrying your porcelain tea set and some charcoal, so that when you tire, you can sit down, make a fire, brew some tea, and watch the sky and the mountains?

Thats so cool! Looking at your photo is almost like falling into that little world of mountains. It's a simpler shot than Hiroji's, but a neat effect.

Yeah, his photo gets to show depth, which is lovely--the mountains disappearing in the misty distance. But I like the dramatic Guilin-like shapes of my shadow mountains.

It's amazing how mountainous they are! Snow casts a long shadow.
