Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Mountains.
Hmmm… The water that we kayak on is usually horizontal and the waves are usually not mountainous. So I don’t have many photos of mountains.

You can climb them in the morning and still be back below for supper. Yet up there, you still have those sharp peaks, precipitous slopes, and—especially when the mist rolls in—that exposed, lonely thrill.

super moody photos, mountains are like that … well captured!
Very changeable, the mountains were that day :-)
I love how the clouds or even the sky seem to touch the mountains, as if mountains are the way to Heaven and we only have to climb…
Beautiful photos!
