Storm on ADK High Peaks

This was taken from the junction of Route 73 (the road that leads west from the NYS Thruway to Lake Placid) and the Adirondak Loj Road. It looks to me like Asher B. Durand would have painted it. Having said that, however, I invite comments. Thank you!

Very nice painterly feel to this image. I like the soft, subtle colors and layers of mountains. I know the location, trying to figure out exactly where you were.. I just looked up Asher Durand and agree it has a feel if his work. Nice job.

Thanks so much, Nick! I was right near the top of the Loj Road, a few meters from where it opens into Rt 73. Just after Thanksgiving.

Beautifully subtle,,,,,,I looked at the version on your site and it looks even better against a neutral gray bg.

I really like this image. I agree it seems as if it might be a painting. I particularly like the fg. Chet
