Through the south and in an' out the valley, in and around the lake mountains come out of the sky
and they stand there.

Beautiful scenery Beach, and reminiscent of the Andes in Peru and Ecuador. They cultivate land way up on the steepest of hills and the clouds roll in before noon and cover the mountaintops. I'm discovering your country has much more than I ever thought it did. I'm so glad to have you as a tour guide!

Amazing, beautiful, awesome, pleasing, Do you think I like it? Those fences amaze me, the work and the time that it must have taken to build them and they are everywhere.
Once again I am in awe, you have managed to create such perspective in the photo that the viewer understands fully how majestic those mountains are.

Brilliant!

Along the drifting cloud
The eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind

Or maybe the sky comes down in a futile effort to squash the mountains?

Beautiful work and beautiful setting, beach.

Absolutely beautiful shot. I can remember walking up on a ridge late October in the Smokies near Clingmans dome, looking down in a valley and seeing tons of fall colors in the trees. Breath taking. No camera could capture what I saw or felt. You have donew a good job with this capture. Thanks for sharing.
