Beautiful picture, John!
Nice to stand by Lake Tekapo, New Zealand on an early-autumn evening and take in the views of the water and hills in the background. The clouds in the sky could indicate a bit of rain is on the way, however. 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.

Very dramatic early, spring mountain picture in March, John!
Definitely would feel cold and high-up in the atmosphere climbing-up to the top of those mountains due to the low, changeable temperatures, shadows and ever-present wind much of the year. I would need my warm, Kathmandu clothing to keep me warm if I ever went up there, even in summer. Nice just to look from ground level and appreciate the awesome landscape that God has provided for us.
