Really Great Views

One of the great things about being on the planet - rather than just looking at it from orbit - apart from the whole gravity, ease of breathing thing - is of course, the colours in the views.
Living on a wide alluvial plain in the skirts of an ancient mountain range is a wonderful wonderful place to explore the nuances and shades of green and blue. What a glory it is to allow the eye to stretch out confidently towards a far horizon and linger along the way on hazy blues tinging to purple, or this year, the less common full-green, seen only in glimpses or flashes of protected pockets.
