Top of the World ... Surreal ... Above the Clouds!

Posted by San G. (Encino, California, United States) on 16 January 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

The breathtaking view from a vantage point in Sequoia National Park looking west toward the Central Valley of California.

Happy New Year, and may you all be written into the Book of Life again this year.

@k@: Hey! You give me a great idea. I think I'll try a tilt-shift on one of these silhouettes-above-the-clouds shots. That'd REALLY be "building a world".

Alphons from Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands

Beautiful picture. Looks like a complete Mount Everest expedition. Very fine silhouettes against the sky!

@Alphons: You make me laugh! We just walked up a very small hill to get to this location ... but from here the view DOES look like that. I was actually scared to walk too close to the edge (but it wasn't really a problem, it just looked like it would be).

Ina from Krugersdorp, South Africa
