 O wow - thank you for liking this picture!

Looking southwest from the Wallberg (Bavarian Alps) spectacular views open up: especially of the Wetterstein Mountains with the Zugspitze and the Wilder Kaiser in the distance. A wonderful Alpine panorama!

Here is a bit of a backstory if anyone likes to read it:

Last year, my children gave me an overnight trip in the mountains for my birthday. It took a long time to find a date when the whole family was available and the weather was perfect. Well, not quite perfect, it was very hazy – which is why I was able to take this photo.

There was a violent thunderstorm that night – that alone is a wonderful experience in the mountains (when you're comfortably tucked in bed in the mountain cabin).

And the icing on the cake was this amazing rainbow the next morning!

Congratulations Barbara! This is so beautiful and Blue Ribbon worthy. Your matching ribbon to the color cast, I am guessing you always knew where this was going.

i like how each layer is a flat shape. it becomes a study of tones, a charcoal drawing.
