Crags & Mountains

[Steve Kaluski]

I never get tired of walking and hiking the well known ski runs and backcountry of this location, as it's a pleasant change from the depths of Winter snow that I got to know in my earlier years LOL.

Hard to think a few days before it was 26 degrees, now Mother nature shows her hand with impending cloud, mist and a dusting of snow above 3000m.

Hi Steve...I'd love to go for a stroll around this scene someday too...love the jagged peaks with the greens and snow covered peaks contrasting nicely with each other....lots of nice detail present in the foreground too.

Thanks, just trying to play with light here Andrew. :S3:

I too would love to walk in these mountains, especially on such a great day as you had here, Steve. It almost looks as if you reached up you would touch the foreground clouds. The contrast in weather conditions is wonderful.

What a beautiful display of the resulting collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Thanks Geoffrey.

This is nice Steve! I like the way you framed it - can see it working with a hint more saturation/vibrance and then also some more "light lights" for tonal contrast?
