My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Wonderful scene and taken nicely as others. This one has a wonderful dramatic sky. I liked your lakes series very much, Lyn. Wondering how the final will be. Sunset approaching.

The mountains and the low hanging clouds really add drama to this shot LE. Excellent work.
Don't worry about the commenting. It can be taxing when one has a lot to do.

Lyn - I'm not sure which I like best - the mountains, lake or sky. Instead, I'll simply enjoy it all. Excellent photo! Thad
