For the 'Cloudman'
Looking at this shot you would probably think I am in a plane, actually my feet were firmly planted on the ground at around 9,000ft or so.

Pikes Peak 14,110ft

Canon 5DMk2
Canon 70-200mm

As they say in Nepal: "The clouds have mountains in them."

Awesome shot!

Oooh, Dave, I like that! Great shot, Jody. Is this from PP Highway? Or farther away? Looks like we're looking at the spine that separates the east and north faces.

This is actually from Rampart Range Road.

Sweet, sweet shot, Jody! Definitely a Himalayan feel.

This is great, Jody. My first thought was you shot it from a plane or the top of a 14er. Very cool shot.

Cool shot Jody. I really like how the mountain is just peeking out from the clouds.

Nice one, Jody, has some great layers! It does look sorta Nepalish...

Love the peak peeking through. Great eye for catching what probably was a very brief glimpse before the clouds closed in.
