The Road Into the Mountains

in #photofeed7 years ago

Are you a mountain person?

I am. I relish seeing these peaks soar high above me, their heights catching the first light of the sun, wrinkled faces wise with advance knowledge of the coming day. If a road leads into the mountains I will take it, camera by my side, ready for any moment that may come my way.

Mountains can be scary, and lonely, but they draw with an invisible force and keep you there with their beauty and feeling of being alive. I'm never glad to leave them behind.

These mountains are the Sierra Nevada (in California), and I loved the way they caught the light of the rising sun.

Very interesting, Thanks!

Beautiful..love the Sierra Nevada mountains. This looks like its somewhere near Bishop?

Not too far from Bishop! It's closer to Mammoth though. :)

I wasn't positive but that's were I would have guessed if this were part of @photogames. Beautiful shot, looks like a great road trip!

Yeah, this would be a good candidate for Where Is it Wednesday! Thanks. :)

Well not any more... We know now.

Gorgeous photo! Such a perfect time of the day... I do like the mountains... but I LOVE green rolling hills!! Following...

That's fair, rolling green hills are nice too. ;) Thank you!

I think anywhere away from the "busy" is bliss!

the depth of the photo is amazing, great angle! draws you nearer to the mountain, and made me feel ready for a hike :)

Hey thanks, @therethere! Yeah, I was far enough from the mountains that I was able to use a longer focal length to compress the mountains and the road together. :)
