This is the mountains against which our town is nestled Smile Thought the play of sunlight and shadow on the mountains would be appropriate for Shadowy Saturday Smile
Thanx again for all the V&C's on my yellow roses yesterday - I really do appreciate it.

The side lighting is helping to delineate all the detail in the mountainside, Herman: a fine backdrop to any town, and well captured in this shot.

This is very beautiful Herman, the composition works well, as the sky as not a lot of detail, the light is subtle and creating gentle shadows, I love it.

Love the play of light and shadow on the mountian side and the inclusion of a foreground fold of land with trees enhances the depth of the image.
