| Clouds Above the Alpine Tundra, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved If you read science or science fiction, you are probably familiar with black holes (which swallow-up everything near it) and wormholes (which transport you to other places and times). While ambling aimlessly on the alpine tundra one day, some 12,000 feet above sea level, I happened to spot this cloud formation that reminded me of a doughnut hole. Just at that moment, I was mentally transported to a brightly colored doughnut shop where I swallowed-up half a dozen freshly baked doughnuts! It was delicious! It was delightful! I was delirious! When I snapped-out of my daydream, I thought to myself sadly, "Oh, if only my dream was true! But, alas, there are no doughnut shops on the tundra." |

ReplyDeleteI'm often surprised by your photos. I doubt whether I would have seen this segment of your vision with so much ske and a touch of terra firma. Must look harder next time.
ReplyDeleteThats a fantastic picture with a strong composition and lovely colors.
ReplyDeletegreetings, Joop
Hi Doug! So nice to hear from you again. Thanks for your comment on Paree. This photo I enjoyed very much as we love Colorado and our daughter lives at 9,000 feet in the southwestern part of the state. In fact, we have a whole blog dedicated to Colorado - Colorado in Color. But this would be a great capture anywhere. Best wishes!
