Fantastic shot! From a plane descending?
Very beautiful light and landscape.
Reassuring to see there's still SOME snow left up there.

@Sidonie: Thanks - no it was at 30,000 ft. Not desceding I would have been worried about that if that would be the case since destination was Chicago :)

Very beautiful! I love how you captured the sun (rise/set) against those gigantic mountains covered with snow. BTW, I meant to leave the above comment for the photo of 191 birds. Please feel free to remove it if you wish and/or edit this comment any way you prefer :) Thanks!

@Lyndsey Le: already done ;) I was already about to count the mountains since I was wondering how you got to 191 when I saw your comment on the birds :)
