I feel I could walk into this scene. The peace/vastness and tranquility it conveys is soul and spirit enlightening.

Lovely contrast between the flora and the barren rock above the tree line.

I love this photo. As a Coloradan, I enjoy the mix we get of sun in the foreground and threatening clouds over the majestic mountains … your photo has this combination!
