Heavenly Heights
25Jan20
In the winter my attention often turns to the mountain peaks. It’s when I find them most beautiful, coated in white, the snow accenting their rugged beauty. When the clouds roll in, usually from the west, or lift after a snow storm I think, ‘this is what heaven must look like’!

‘Heavenly’ shots for sure, Denise. Height and majesty all rolled into one! I love the soft layers of clouds in ‘Snowbound Beauty.’
Thank you Eliza. Those clouds were the ‘something special’ needed in that scene!
Those sure do look like heaven on Earth, Denise. Nice set of mountain images.
Thanks Steve … waiting for the next snow to freshen up the landscape!
Beautiful. I love mountain photographs. Your pictures are great.
Thanks very much for visiting Joanne!
That’s quite a variety of color schemes. How about those lenticular clouds in the third photo? The last view, though colorless, seems especially dramatic.
Gotta love those lenticular clouds! Watching the peaks reveal themselves after a storm is always a bit dramatic!
Beautiful, Denise! Yes, I agree this must be what heaven is like! Soft white snow and clouds…so peaceful and special. My favorite is the first one, Above the Clouds.
Thanks Angie. This set is just a small collection. I started out with more but eliminated some I was wishy-washy about!
While I admire your photography, I think I admire the dedication you have to be so consistent with it more. I find the winter months see me more inside than outside.
Thanks very much. Yes, it’s hard to get out in the winter but often cabin fever wins and I just have to get out!
These are all wonderful, Denise. Love the image with the lenticular clouds and your final b&w is gorgeous.
Thank you Jane. Appreciate hearing which speak to you best!
Now I know what a lenticular cloud is. My morning education. Really love the feel of “Winter Forms” Stay warm and keep sharing your passion.
Thanks Buck … I will!
Lovely pictures, love your first picture with cloud covered mountain with just the peak visible.
Thanks! I’m glad you like that one and always appreciate your visits and comments!
How glorious! It feels as if we are hovering like birds.
🙂 … or angels! Thank you!
Those are beautiful! Your mountains remind me of the Eastern Sierras.
Thanks Deborah. The tallest Eastern Sierras reach the same heights of more than 14,000 ft.
So beautiful, Denise! I love all four, and that cloud formation in the third photo is amazing! ❤
Thanks very much Donna. I am always paying attention to the clouds!
Your description says it all….stunning captures!!
Thank you Kirt! 🙂
Beautiful.
Thank you my friend. Looking forward to seeing your full Columbia collection!
Snow on mountains is like people putting on their fancy clothes. These are purty.
That’s a great analogy Dave. I will remember that! Thank you.
I agree, mountains dressed in winter’s costume is when they are most beautiful. You certainly captured some beautiful images of those mountains.
Thank you for checking in Otto … I appreciate your visits!
They are all beautiful, but since I love color, I like the second red one best.
Thanks Ruth … the pink and orange together always seem to attract some likes!
Great shots, special clouds in the 3rd photo.
Thanks! Those are lenticular clouds. Always a welcome sight when I’m out with my camera!
I can see the grandeur in these images. The clouds in the fourth photo are amazing! I’ve seen lenticular clouds a few times, but nowhere near as big as those were. And I really like the textures in the last photo – beautiful.
Thank you Lynn. It has been a bit gloomy and the snow needs some freshening up. They say March and April are the snowiest months here. I’m eager to get back out there!
