misty mountain top

Sometimes that old saying that a picture can speak a thousand words is so true. I took this a few years back in Vail. Photographically speaking, it's probably not the best picture ever; it's too dark up front.  But, there's something about this photo I love - the way it takes me back, instantly.  In person, the panoramic view was breath-taking. Layer upon layer of misty mountain top unfurled everywhere we looked. This image captures the tiniest iota of the beauty that surrounded us as we took it all in that evening.

Looking at a photo like this is, for me, the easiest way to take a long rather hard day and instantly relocate my mind to a more peaceful, more happy moment.
