Such a beautiful, tranquil, calm morning picture, Barbara! The mid-level mackerel-sky and vast, blue skies define a perfect sunny day. Looking out to the horizon beyond the dark, monochrome-coloured forest in the foreground, one can see the beautiful, snow-covered swiss mountains floating above the mist-covered valleys, which stretch off into the distance. The mist in the valleys creates a lake-like effect, where the lake curves around the mountains almost like a deep-water fjord from Norway or New Zealand. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia

Pretty amazing, snowy, late-winter picture, John!

Looks like you could almost enter the grand-arch rainbow diamond-dust cave entrance at the bottom of the mountain and enter into a cave system. The majestic mountain peaks almost above rise up to the cloudy heavens and appear to float on the lower-level stratus clouds gradually lifting due to the weak late-winter sun’s heat.

Well done, Paul, for capturing this entrancing image. It must have been somewhat magical to see it for real.

Thanks for sharing this marvel with us.

Amazing sunset, Robert!

The forested foreground appears in more monochrome shades, while the sunset sky is certainly on fire! Great contrast between dramatic and sombre.

Really spectacular! Great capture of dramatic, snow-capped, Mt Rainier on a fine day, with its banner clouds taken up in the air from the airplane when travelling from Seattle, USA! Can also see mist in the foreground mountain valleys. Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia

Beautiful, misty, mountainous, mid-winter landscape over Chiayi, Taiwan at the end of another long day and stretching off into the distance. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia

A really dramatic, monochrome picture on a fine day in the middle of winter, Phil, made all the more dramatic with the distant, craggy, snowy mount Blanc Massif range mountains in France on the other-side of the sea or river of stratus being in deep shadow, making them look quite spooky, with the highest point in France, Mt Blanc, 4,807m with a white cloud cap on. In complete contrast, the snowy foreground is in full sun! Nobody knows what lurkes beneath the sea of river of stratus! Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia

Really nice, peaceful picture of the muted sunset over Jesi, Italy after another long day! The evening mist in the background looks like it is coming in from the sea, with a wave about to crash upon the shore! From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
