The Misty Mountains contain the highest peaks of Middle Earth. Stretching over 700 miles they were raised in the First Age. Photo taken by an awakening Elf or perhaps a Longbeard :)
In another world this may be seen as the view from the shores of Lake Wakatipu at Glenorchy, NZ, where the misty rain on the lens made some smudges on the photo. I decided to leave them there, they were part of the scene :)

I can smell the sunlight on your skin. Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!
A most imposing and mood provoking image, Eve. Well done.

I like how the mist over the mountains merges with the low clouds. Beautiful image Lyn.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Exceptional and beautiful... It's easy to see why Middle-Earthers named them the Misty Mountains.

What a dramatic landscape shot! The mountains really bring the eyes to the back of the photo. Another great one from you.

Uber-cool clouds coming off those mountain tops, Lyn. Appropriate that you should enter a photo from New Zealand, where the Lord of the Rings movies were made. Good luck in the contest, and Kia Ora.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
I am often reminded of the stunning vistas from the movies when I view your photos. A wonderful choice from your stunning Lake Wakatipu. The skies over the mountains are amazing.

A moody scene indeed. The amazing sky draws the eyes in for a deeper look at the misty mountain peaks. Plus the image fits the contest perfectly. Excellent entry / capture, Lyn ... best of luck.

Kia Ora, LE...
First of all I just back back into town and have a zillion comments to write. I've decided to simply comment on a single posting from each of my Caedes friends so that I don't spend the next 36 hours with my butt stuck in this chair. I did glance at your other postings, and they looked wonderful, but I picked this one because it struck me as being extraordinary. So here goes.
Normally I would have made a comment about the vast amount of sky in the shot. But it adds rather than detracts from the overall image. I fond this posting to be one of your very best and worthy of a "fave" at the very least. The subtle hues make this shot feel like I'm looking at one of the loneliest places on the planet. The imagery is brilliant in displaying what a massive portion of the world you've captured.
The colors, the contrasts, the mystique all make this is glorious posting. A glorious and spectacular entry into the contest.

What's the difference between a duck?
Can you point out Mordor for me? lol A really fine representation of the setting of Tolkien's stories from Middle Earth. Good luck, Lyn.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
Looks just like the Misty Mountains! This is a good quality image. Great work! I wish you the best in the competition :)

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Congratulations on your second place finish. I voted yours 1st place. Obviously the bastards rigged the vote.

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
