This is a very subtle photograph and I love what it shows. Be sure to click on it to see it larger. We are looking west toward Mexico. There is a mountain in the foreground, and behind that another mountain range and another very faint range beyond that. I love the subtle differences in each range as they recede into the distance. In the second range behind the dark range in the foreground, do you see a little "notch?" That is 14 miles away, and is called Santa Elena Canyon, and the Rio Grande river flows through that notch! I also love the clouds in this photograph because in a way they seem to mirror the shape of the mountains. I may make a large photograph print for my wall, of this image.

This is a very soothing and subtle landscape photograph showing three mountain ranges one after another. I understand why you might make a wall hanging print in order to view it more frequently. I spent a little longer time than usual looking at today's blog photo and, for some reason, decided to increase the brightness on my computer screen (which I don't ever recall doing before) and I got even more pleasure from the scene. Nicely done!
This photo has everything - dark mountains and light airy clouds, depth of space and the feeling of tranquility. Betsey
I am so glad that both of you really "get" the beauty and subtlety of this photograph! I would keep asking myself "I think this is good, right?" It was not a sure thing in my head, but I did post it, so I really appreciate your comments.
