The Mountains of Grawn

I snapped this picture yesterday of the sun rising behind distant mountains at Grawn, Michigan.

Actually, Grawn has no mountains. This was one of those distant cloud banks on the horizon that looked like mountains. This reminds me of a scene I viewed in eastern Idaho. just west of the Grand Tetons. The eastern sky looked like this, but the mountains were taller and sharper. The real mountains looked like cloud mountains, a lot like this photo.

I sense a cloud conspiracy.

Whatever you do, Laura, do not climb that beanstalk.

What an incredible photo! If I was just looking at it, without knowing they were clouds, I would never have believed it.

Nope, I didn't think they were clouds either... I was wondering how lovely those mountains would be in broad daylight! Good shot!
(Just popped over from Laura's place...hi)

I love this shot. It belongs in the library. I can use it as a story prompt for my students!

Thanks!

Until I was 6 I lived in Utah surrounded by mountains. Then I moved to Michigan's Lower Peninsula where mountains simply do not exist. I was determined that those clouds on the horizon were mountains because there were always mountains on the horizon.

Wow... that's cool. I didn't think they were mountains. You didn't fool me... much.

I love making mountains out of moleclouds. I wonder if dreamers in the dry and stony West make lakes out of clouds?
