Carpets of Clouds at Dawn
This is an immense sea of clouds, somehow distributed into levels of height, photographed at dawn on September 28th 2012 from the summit of Mount Rocciamelone (3,538 m), Italy.
Yes, this is not the view from an airplane, but from the top of a very high mountain, after spending the night up there.
I have seen countless times clouds from above, anyhow that morning I was struck by the geometric distribution of the elements (different types of clouds) and colors... all aesthetically brought me back to some paintings, mostly abstract.
I think it's a good way of understanding landscape photography, despite no land can be seen here :-)) given the height of the clouds and my vantage point.
Nevertheless, It's always nice to find something out of the usual cliché... and above all to have the privilege of being able to see it, with my own eyes... that's what really matters! Absolutely.
Then if a photograph can be taken, oh well, why not!
