Moods Of A Mountain

Many photographs taken so this is one on the very first afternoon of arriving and watching the clouds move over giving change in lighting with mixture of clouds just before sunset, sunset with colours that filled the skyline.

Absolute bliss sipping a beer, enjoying the view in crisp fresh mountain air knowing the dazzling sights that unfurl for capturing the moods the mountains display at end of day.
