Clouds at the base of the mountain

On a flight from Ontario, CA to Las Vegas, NV last year, I was so disappointed that it was a gloomy, drizzly day. I was so surprised when we broke through the clouds and I was able to captured this photo.
Although it would have been much better on a bright day, the overcast higher clouds gave the whole picture a look of black and white.
I was so happy I had a window seat. Hope you all enjoy.

Bob.. Your comment is a perfect statement of 'There is always a silver lining." This is a great picture and I don't think a sunny day would make it better.. just different. I like the contrast.

Bob,

Very nice shot - kind of monochromatic. Come see us tomorrow on "Speechless Sundays." :)

Steve

Bob - Very interesting photo and I really like the photo on your blog page, is that Florida in the back ground our Hawaii?

Valerie - Thank you for your comments. I like the contrast of this picture too. Thank you for noticing my new photo.

Steve - Monochromatic does seem to fit it, doesn't it. I think it would look cool framed in black. hmmmm. I'm heading over to sign up for Speechless Sunday now. Thanks for commenting.

Robert - Thank you for commenting. That picture of me was taken atop Diamond Head in Hawaii a few years back. I always liked it.

Bob- I LOVE IT. This is really a great picture of clouds. It looks like cotton candy. Thank you for sharing.

Feel like I am floating...........beautiful

I remember the first time I was on an airplane and we broke through the clouds. It took my breath away to see how beautiful they were. This picture is really awesome with the mountains off in the distance. You did a great job capturing that photo from inside the airplane.

Laura - I was thinking more on the lines of cotton batting. My wife used to use it for sewing projects. Cotton candy works too. Thank you for commenting.

Julie - The flight was a bit rough going through those clouds, but once we got above the, it did feel like we were floating. It was very calm. Thanks for commenting.

Donna - I know that feeling of awe, you just can't seem to take your eyes off them. Thank you for your comments.

Hi Bob,

Nice shot, could be one from the collection of Ansel Adam's. Thanks for sharing.

Hal - Thanks for the compliment. I probably should crop that airplane wing out of it. LOL

I want to step off the wing of that plane and walk to the mountains on the clouds!

Great shot!

Susan - That would be a neat thing to do.

Jennifer, Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I love flying over the clouds, they are so beautiful.

Wow! Glad the plane didn't get much closer! Impressive piercing of the clouds by the mountains. Impressive, but a bit intimidating...
