Kevin Kabuki gave props (20 Nov 2008):
beautiful place Donald. I thought fog at first.
Rob Roy (Deleted) gave props (20 Nov 2008):
Put a cabin somewhere in this scene and I'll retire tomorrow, Don!! What a gorgeous scene!! The old western movies were done in areas like this, but they were B&W!
Judy Wanamaker (Deleted) gave props (20 Nov 2008):
The composition of this one is wonderful. If you had not revealed that the "clouds" are smoke, it could have been mountain mist. From the sky, down the cool green slopes of the forested mountains, to the rushing, rocky river this is picture perfect. Great capture, Don.
Klaus Girk (Deleted) gave props (20 Nov 2008):
