Thank You, Nature, for Installing Mountains! (Glacier National Park) by Mark Stevens

At a pullout overlook along the Going-to-the-Sun Road with a view looking to the southwest in Glacier National Park. My thought on composing this image was to take advantage of what I perceived as layers present and use that to capture look beyond. Nearby was a forest of evergreens and other small trees, with the waters of Saint Mary Lake beyond that. As a backdrop, there were distant mountains with the ridges and peaks of the Central Lewis Range with Mahtotopa Mountain, Dusty Star Mountain, Fusillade Mountain, Gunsight Mountain, and Dragons Tail. I decided to keep a more leveled-on view with the horizon and let the blue skies above the a contrast to complement the earth-tones present in the lower portion of the image.
