Mountains above the clouds

11.12.2004
The rocky peak of the Klíč-Mt. protrudes over boundless masses of clouds.

View from the peak of the Klíč-Mt. to the North: the surface of the masses of clouds is disturbed only by the distant peaks of the mountains Jedlová (left) and Pěnkavčí vrch (right).
View from the grassy slope of the Klíč-Mt. to the Pěnkavčí vrch-Mt.
Masses of clouds stretch far into to the East. On the the left side horizon projects the low summit of the Hvozd, from which the bluish ribbon of the Jizerské hory-Mts. is extending to the snow-covered peaks of the Krkonoše-ridge

An boundless sea of clouds stretches from under the Klíč-Mt. to the southwest.
On the northwest side of the Klíč Mt. rises the Malý Buk-Mt. and behind of it the Javor and Studenec Mts are protruding over the clouds.
As distant isles the Velký Buk-Mt (in the north) and behind of it the Pěnkavčí vrch and in the extreme right the Luž-Mt are protruding over the clouds.

The rays of the descending sun illuminate the Malý Buk Mt. and the more distant peaks of the Javor and Studenec Mts.
In the coming of nightfall the colours of the hills are changing. In the centre rises the dark massif of the Jedlová-hill, on its right side stands the Velký Buk hill and on the left there are the less prominent peaks of the hills Popelová hora and Velká Tisová.

The landscape under the peaks of the mountains is disappearing under a mass of impenetrable clouds.

The rays of the setting sun illuminate an boundless ocean of clouds.
The sun is setting under a layer of clouds.

A last view to the north of the peaks of the Velký buk, Pěnkavčí vrch and Luž hills before sunset.
The twilight spreads over the landscape.

The last reflections of the setting sun.
