This is one of favorite captures of the day. I thought the evidence of the old rock slide was really cool. I hope you enjoy it and thankyou again for your comments.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I'll keep this relatively short because I have 40+ comments to write. This is one time where I wish I didn't hold myself to the deal about never saying "Nice shot. Thanks for sharing" because that would save me hours of writing.
I like the shot, Billy. The saturation on the blue looks a bit more than I'm used to seeing, but that could very easily be the clarity at elevation. With no rain for months around here, the dust levels rarely show that deep of a blue color. Great idea spraying the Roundup on those pine trees. The sporadic brown adds a nice touch to this beautiful shot. And I agree with you about the landslide area. That dynamite came in quite handy. I would award you a 7.5, but with the VB and C-Index gone, we can only speak of such things in whispers.
