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…)

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.
