The sun on the mountains.

The sun effect on the mountains aided by clouds is simply beautiful.

From a distance it looked like smoke coming out of the mountain.

But it was a cloud and today I will show you some mountain shots taken early morning, then in the afternoon and finally the sunset effect on the mountains as you can see in the first photo.
Nature is indeed a place filled with amazing colors that can speak and evoke many peaceful moods in us.
Come and have a look.

Early morning here and the rising sun has just cleared the mountains.

Then later in the morning I took this photo towards the southern part of the mountain range.

That is my favorite pillar that you see here at the left with the valley flowing around it.
All of this must have been one solid section of the mountain range, until the rain found a crack and over the centuries the water created the valley and the pillar.

Shade at the bottom, rock and the icing is cloud at the top.

So lovely to stand and watch the sunset effects on the mountains.

A late farm scene that stole my heart here. Imagine living so close to the mountain and from that height you also have a full view of the Atlantic ocean.

Some amazing sights that always gets my goat hahaha, as it is inspiring in its raw beauty. One can only imagine what these mountains have had to endure from assaults by the weather over time and yet they still stand proud, steady and powerful.
A lesson to all of us to also endure against the assaults from this life.

That's All Friends!

Hope you have enjoyed the stories and photos.

Oh yes, thank you and such a pity that we can't get that house as it's on a private farm.

That's beautiful. The sunlight makes the mountain shimmer. But what impressed me was the house at the foot of the mountain. It is wonderful to live there and admire the natural beauty every day.

I am in love with that house my friend, but it is in a restricted area on a private farm.
So we cannot get it.

The colors nature gives is amazing to see as you highlight in this post, I love when clouds are around or as in the second and fourth shots, provide a layer under the peaks of the mountains

Oh yes JJ, as we always see in your photos, the layers of colors are magnificent.
Your ocean shots are always great and we have different sights here with the mountains.

I see so many walking and running around in nature with earphones on JJ.
Obviously listening to music and oblivious to the beauty and sounds of nature.

The volcano 🌋 is active 😉

Clouds and mountains look best together, but if there's also some sunlight from the setting sun then I love these photos even more 😃

The third shot from the bottom is my absolute favourite here 😊

Thank you kindly Hannes, It seems that people like different photos here and that's why I always post a few. You do the same and it's always worth it, as we respect the fact that people have different tastes.

Cheers and thanks.

It's good that everyone has a different taste - "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - this saying is so true 😀

Oh yes, Margaret Woolfe Hungerford certainly knew what she was talking about in her novel Molly Bawn published in 1878.
Sorry but your mention of the saying, I had to ask Marian who said it originally, as she is my Google.

I like this one more as it is deeper "Everything has it's beauty, but not everyone sees it" Confucius

So yes, it is a very old truth Hannes 😉

Cheers and thanks,

I never knew who said these great words, thank you so much Zac 😀
Right, everything has it's beauty, you just have to open your eyes because sometimes the beauty is hidden.

My pleasure Hannes 🙂

Exactly right and agreed, as first cursory observences will never reveal the real beauty within.
Similar to the saying in life to never judge a book by its cover.
One has to develop the skill to look within all things.

Cheers and thanks.
