Even On Grey Days


Even on grey days...and there are a few of those that happen on the West Coast...
there is often beauty to be found...in the inter-play between clouds and
mountains. This morning has been one of a constantly shifting "inversion" across
the mountains. The internet dictionary defines an "inversion" happening..."when
the layer of air near the earth is cooler than an overlying layer". The way your
eyes see an inversion...is centrally in the shape of a long horizontal cloud...
across the mountains...with the mountain tops often showing...above the cloud...
and the mountain bottom...below the cloud. The inversion I've been witnessing today
...had fingers of cloud...coming out of the central cloud...as it shifted
constantly. Today's picture...is from one of my front windows...reminding me...that
even on grey days...there is something beautiful happening...in the world outside
my window...............Quester.

You are a lucky man indeed! Great picture. It's always amazing to see how dwarfed the cityscape looks against the majesty of the mountains...and the clouds...and you've 'captured' that very eloquently...
