I need to correct something, I took this picture back in September of 2018, so it is actually an early fall day in Nevada. There was still a small amount of snow from winter on the top of Mt. Rose and as a side note, Mt. Rose had the most snow fall in the lower 48 last year and some of it stayed around until the winter this year.
Thanks for you awesome comment too.

Great mountain scenery on a fine, late-winter’s day in highland Nevada, USA!
The cloud formation in the sky looks like a bridge which you could cross on foot from one side of the mountain valley to the other quite easily! Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia

“Excuse me while I kiss the sky!” I caught a set of cloud lips a couple of years ago, but they were nearly as good as these. Thanks for sharing them, Bryan.

A view from the top of Mount Rose, Nevada, US, at approximately 10,778 feet. The back ground haze of clouds is from fires in the region.

This photo appeals to me much indeed.
I like the deep and atmospheric broody, moody lighting and the heavy sense of gravitas contained in the clouds as they roll casting forth ever changing light and shadow across an unforgiving landscape.
As ever, Brian, my thanks.
Laurence

Rainbow? More like a double rainbow – and with a possible third rainbow in the making on the far RHS of this atmospheric photo?
Thanks, Bryan. Best wishes.
