The Tempest - a photo on Flickriver

The Tempest

            It's hard in a still image to capture the vibrant life of sunset in the mountains.  

The clouds/fog to the right roll over the ridgeline and evaporate into the trees, the sky comes alive in a rainbow of vibrant colors as the light plays off the clouds and through the various layers of humidity.  The mountains themselves stay still, but their colors change from green to blue to indigo to black, and the sights, sounds and temperatures all send chills down your spine and raise gooseflesh on your arms.  

When I look at this panorama, it seems so still, and yet, the moment felt so very alive.
