Landscape: Azure Summit View

I took this picture at the summit of Mt. Azure when we hiked up last Wednesday. It is a landscape shot out over the hills and off into the distance. The mountains here in the ADK park slowly formed into what they are today, and are surprisingly still growing. I was drawn to this picture because I love the colors contrasting between the sky, trees, and snow. It was one of my first hikes up a mountain that had snow on the ground still and therefore its beauty resonated with me. I only wish that the strong winds were visible in the picture.
