Seven Miles High

A serene landscape where dense morning mist blankets a forest, revealing only the tops of trees. A distant water tower stands out against the misty background.

Well, this photograph was actually taken at 2700′ above sea level, on the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee, though the distant structure is approx. seven miles away.

      Thanks so much, dear Hazel. That’s a water tower on a distant hillside, visible above the clouds. Have a great day! 🤗

    ‘Tis a very serene capture my darling man, … ‘ up periscope’ came instantly to mind, … but the subtle colouring and glorious misty views are to die for, … Condividere con te è da morire, amore mio, …❤️

      Good morning, my darling lady and Poetess extraordinaire. It’s always wonderful to stare toward the horizon, enjoying a serene sea of clouds filling the skies, and ’twas even more beautiful sharing it with you, this morning at sunrise. Insieme, per accogliere il giorno: sarebbe un momento meraviglioso… ❤️

    What a beautiful scene! Clouds, like an ocean. The water tower reminds me of the conning tower of a submarine, rising to the surface. Love this, Phil! 👏👏🥰👏👏

      Thanks so much, my dear friend Robin. Yes, I would agree – it does have that ‘periscope’ sort of quality. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! 🤗
