To the east, we have a view of Granite Mountain. There are a few other peaks, I still need to learn their names. Granite mountain is an hour away, still it looks huge. It is over 7,600 feet. These hills are not all part of the same range.

Happy Accidents

The cloud was a fluke, it is the white of the paper where my wash dried before meeting. The purple on the mountains was meant to completely cover them. But once I saw the shapes forming, I laid the tilted paper flat. I really like how the dark gives some structure to the hills. When the photo is enlarged on-screen, you can see the faintest red on the hills. I know it is an illusion, but it is an interesting one.
