I love your mountain photos, particularly the shot of blue sky, snowy mountain tops and incongruously bright canola. We can't quite see the Snowdonia mountain range from where we live, but just a short walk along the cliff path rectifies that. You have me looking forward to the days ahead when they will be snow-capped, although next to your mountains they are ant hills!Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399966120622929214.post-1116014594241203762015-07-19T07:21:53.747+02:002015-07-19T07:21:53.747+02:00The world is divided into many portions.

It was incongruous to see the snow and the green valley. You have captured some beautiful closeups here with the majesty of the mountain ranges. I love seeing such a different part of the world. Oregon—where Patrick and I live—is very green on the western side of our Cascade Mountain range, and like a desert with prairies and cattle on the eastern side. I'm thinking just now of the majestic Columbia River Gorge...a place I bet you would love with your magnificent eye for beauty.
