I sent this photo in with the title “leader of the clouds”. The “Hercules” is saying “c’mon! let’s go!” I don’t know why they did not follow my lead on that. Anyway, thanks for the nice comments (a little late on that…)
Gary
Jeanie, now that you mention Hercules rising up out of the clouds, yes, I agree. Well spotted.
Laurence
Am I the only one who sees Hercules rising up out of the clouds? :) Great shot!
Wish that I were there right now. This photo has a really nice fresh feel about it. The clouds set off the scenery to very good effect. Thanks, Gary.
