Mountain Wave

2008.01.29

Sunday afternoon around 4:15 I was driving home from an errand. I could see the mountains well from the street I was on, the full range. And what I saw took my breath away. Wind was blowing over the mountains and lifting up the snow high into the air. The sun was just right and it outlined the whole spectacle, it was SO beautiful. Of course, like Dancing Dolphin, I was alone and worse NO CAMERA! I hurried on home and went to a high spot to try to catch it but it was too late, the sun was gone. I did manage to get one good picture but not like the one where the mountains were etched with silver! Today I read in our paper (that's the way our news is!) that it was a rare meteorological phenomenon called a mountain wave. Amazing!

telam Wow cool! Too bad you couldn't capture it (mountain wave) on camera. This picture is beautiful!

youlookmahvelous That is cool. I have never heard of it. This is a nice shot and I have done that so many times with a big DANG I don't have my camera.

DancingDolphin I BELIEVE YOU! :-) Very cool that it even has a "name". I now carry my little camera in my purse at all times for this reason! Still a lovely shot!

Bushman i love it! but it's always like this: something beautiful - no camera, rain - no umbrella and so on. If you have had a camera you wouldn't see it probably at all (it's all Murphy's fault ;) )

cobaltbutterfly You still got a bit of it. Don't you wish you could rewind it and play it again? Nice photo anyway. Love, PCA
