In the Presence

Moses was instructed to remove his shoes because he was standing on holy ground during his time on the mountain. I felt the need to reach for my shoelaces during this moment on Mt. Evans.

C&C welcome, and thanks for looking,

Large Version Included,

Morris

Not sure if this is a series for you,
but those last 5 images you have posted sure work for me.
The shadow detail, the sky and the highlighted cloud are wonderful.
Well seen and shot.

Mystical and mist-i-cal! Gorgeous light here and a good description of the moment it was seen.

In the coming days, if you get the sense you're being followed, don't worry you're not paranoid. It'll just me trying to get some of the same light and conditions that you've found here.

Thanks, Jeremy. I don't want to mislead anyone because these are all from one afternoon and evening up there. And, I've been shut out by clouds as many times as I have had some interesting light. This day ranks up there with the best I have experienced on Mt. Evans.

Grant, no wonder the hair has been standing up on the back of my neck.

Good shooting up there!

You've definitely hit it out of the park with this series. I like the lighting and the sense of scale.

WOW, you've had your fair share of some unique mountain top captures as of late Morris, this is yet another fine one. I'd have to say the beams of light really make this one work. Excellent look here.

That's some wild lighting, highlighting the cloud in that local region of the mtn. Great catch, very well composed.

You have been on a roll with the latest series of images, Morris. The drama and power has been nothing short of epic to say the least.
