Good shot. 11 Sep 2008 5:36am @MontereyJohn: Thanks for your kind comments and for the visit dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United Statesi will agree w/ john -- this is powerful! beautifully done -- love the contrast of the dynamic and massive mountains and the gentle slope of grass and trees in the foreground. marvelous!! 11 Sep 2008 5:52am @dj.tigersprout: Thanks DJ I was just saying to Kylie that one of the good things about the west coast is there is only a small strip of land between the sea and the mountains.

However I have read an article to say that the glaciers are rowing again on the west coast but still receding on the east coast thanks for visiting @Jeffster: thanks very much @Ana Lúcia: Thanks Anna Anita from West Nottingham, United StatesThe white with dark all around brings my eye right to the center of the photo. Then, I start looking at the clouds, the snow on the tree, etc. Very nice. 11 Sep 2008 11:51pm @Anita: Thanks for the kind comments Elisa from Massachusetts, United Stateswhat a beautiful place! great composition!! 12 Sep 2008 12:35am @Elisa: Thanks Elisa it is beautiful DarkElf from Perth, Australiawhoa! what contrast between lush greens in the foreground and the harsh conditions that follow... really nicely framed this one - the drama builds through the frame capped off by the clouds at the top - great work! 12 Sep 2008 1:42am @DarkElf: Thanks very much for your comments and your visit One from Açores, PortugalGreat image!
