Nature Portraits 2 - Mountain, Sequoia, Sunset

The grandeur of a majestic mountain
with its snow-capped peak
enveloped in fleecy white clouds
against a clear azure blue sky

The glorious majesty of a stately sequoia
the largest living thing on earth
its massive trunk over thirty feet wide
with its gnarled rugged beauty

The wondrous artistry of the setting sun
edging the darkened clouds with silver linings
and painting the evening sky
in brilliant colours of the rainbow

Hi Socrates, thankyou for posting this one, I enjoyed it. One of natures paradoxes the giant sequoia, the cones need a hot forest fire to open and germinate, a truly stately tree and stately poem to match....Andrew...cool
