Great shot! Once again, you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

I was going to say, "nice mist in the distance", but ack, it's smoke. It's needed though. How are the forests doing from that big fire a few years back?

This is a fantastic photo. I'd like to give something more constructive than that, but I really can't see any way this picture could be made to look better.

Actually, this could look great as a letterboxed wallpaper--You wouldn't happen to have a larger version of it that I could use for such a thing, would you?

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

This I prefer, love the brown tones. So the mountains are on fire? Forest fire control I take it?

They call them "Prescribed Burns" now... used to call them "controlled", but I'm sure you can imagine why that term is no longer acceptable ;)

this is my fav of the two as well, I like wider views, and more subtle sort of coloring.. subtle is not something I'm very good at ;)

thanks! :peace:

;) thanks, but I'll help you out... I don't like the foreground too much... it fits in nicely I guess, but to me it seems unsettled or something.. but I'm being hypersensitive, lol.. Really appreciate the comment. I'll see if I have a wallpaper size, will note when I dig it up or create it.. :peace:

Well, this one is a prescribed burn, so it's under some amount of control - at the moment anyhow.

They just had a 5 year anniversary for the Missionary Ridge fire a few months back, it was actually very education based - how to avoid such a thing happening again, and how to act/respond more appropriately should it happen again. The "forests" are still fairly scarred, its quite obvious when you drive up through Vallecito that an event occurred there. I hear that it can up to 100 years for something like to recover...

and yeah, I am quite lucky to find myself in these parts - Thanks :blowkiss:

I guess because they weren't really controlled? :shrug:

Me too, I like the subtle coloring, you should do more of this for a change :)
