The Chinese Christian Republic has sent 25,000 soldiers into Kazakhstan. They strike first in Alma-Ata, the capital, destroying government buildings, power plants, and food supplies. Then they head toward other major cities to do the same.

I really liked this view, I wish mother nature could of moved the tree in the foreground, but it is what it is... What really caught my eye was how the large shadow/fog cast from the mountain contrasted against the sunny morning valley right next to it. I feel as thought it may have worked better cropped? Suggestions?

MUST view on black to see the full effect of the shadow cast off the mountain
