This is a view of the Catskills in New York State. I caught this glimpse as I made my way down Meads Mountain Road after visiting the Tibetan Buddhist monastery Karma Triyana Dharmachakra at the very top.

ReplyDeleteJust a thought, you might miss some comments and visits with going thru Expressions and thoughts.
I did not know there was a Buddhist monastery in the Catskills. Very interesting. And a beautiful picture, blue on blue, on blue.
ReplyDeleteWow Sandy, That's such a beautiful shot. You caught the blues perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWow, just looks at those blues - the sky is going to have to work hard to keep up!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is nice. I like the colors and the mountains and the fog or mist or whatever it is called. Nice.
ReplyDeleteSee my SkyWatch post here > Canon Pixels
I had no idea they looked like that. Wow.

ReplyDeletenice photo except for the power lines...doesn't that bug you when something interfers. nice blues.
ReplyDeleteSuch an array of blues and greens, Sandy. And good to note there is a sky-lift for those of us who might find the climb bit on the tough side.

ReplyDeletelovely rolling hills!

ReplyDeleteWow, that is a gorgeous view of the mountains.
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to visit the Catskills someday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the Catskills. I think that your photo captured a lovely shot and view of them!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!
Ah! Such memories it brings back from when I lived in upstate New York between the Adirondak and Catskill Mountains.
ReplyDeletePaulie
Stunning shot, Sandy - shades upon shades.
ReplyDeletesuch an interesting amazing shot! Film makers would love to be able to have footage of that kind of blue for a movie!
ReplyDeleteonce again your talent amazes one and all!
Fantastic colours in the mountains. Sandi, we get blue mountains like that, perhaps not so intensiv; it is caused by the Eucalyptus trees, the evaporation of the oil in the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThank you for SWF. Take care T.
very nice SWF Sandy...
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful photo, it does look real blue
ReplyDeleteCatskills sounds like a place where almost everything is possible. Opus 40, tibetan monastery, Mercury Rev, jokes...intriguing.
ReplyDeletesandy, you are an excellent photographer. i love the depth of this photo. i like your blog!
ReplyDelete:)
Lovely blue in them thar hills!
ReplyDeleteThat blue hue looks almost like an add-in or touch-up - spectacular contrast in the middle of the hills.
ReplyDeleteGreat skywatch.

Lovely area and a tranquil setting for a Buddhist monatery.
ReplyDeleteLovely composition. Looks like a nice setting for a Buddhist monastery.
ReplyDeleteblue mountains - cool. i get good karma from this one! ;-]
ReplyDeleteThe bkue hue off those mountains is surreal. I'm glad you get those powerlines in, not beacuse they're pretty, just beacuse it puts the shot in such a natural context. The mountains are even more beautiful for it.
ReplyDeleteYou're excellent at getting just the right shades.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful view!
ReplyDeleteThose are majestic looking mountains. There is a tibetan temple in NY??
ReplyDeleteWOW everythings blue -brilliant, looks a very restful area?
ReplyDeleteGreat shot - colours are magical!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog earlier. Much appreciated.
The view is lovely, Sandy.

I love the color variations in this photo … framed beautifully by the trees. Just beautiful! Mine's up at Sacred Ruminations this morning ... along with a bit of Haiku just because ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Sandy: Those hills are alive with blues.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful blue in te background!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful blending of blues and green. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the mountains...I think it may be the Highland Scots blood...love them much more than the beach! I have an award for you at my place that will be posted by tomorrow, do come pick it up!
ReplyDeleteSandi
Ah the Catskills .. I spent a lot of summers under skies like that up there ..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memory jolt

Gorgeous view! And a contrast to the colors at the Tibetan Monastary. All great photos and an interesting place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI've only been to New York once, but my husband came from there. We now live in British Columbia and have lots of green like in your shot. My contribution is a shot of the sun with reflections on the water. I invite you to come see. -- Margy

ReplyDeleteSandy, I like this a lot. I'd like even more to be a top that mountain to meditate.
ReplyDeleteIt does look a lot like my (how possessive is that?) Blue Ridge Mountains. Beautiful SWF shot, Sandy!
