Looking down upon a hurrying world,
above the clouds,
offers detachment,
perspective,
and peace.
World’s away,
and above it all.
Cheers to you from peaceful heights and prayers to those in Irma’s path~

Gorgeous!! Really love your first picture.. It is the kind of view you want to see in the morning.
Yes. It brings immediate relaxation.
Where is this? Beautiful photos.
Thank you very much. This is Mt. Palomar State Park in California, and short distance from The Holler~
How wonderful to have such a beautiful spot so close to home.
Yes. It is a wonderful place to retreat to regularly <3
Until I find a way to make a digital rubber stamp that says, “Great photos, Cindy!,” I will just have to type, “Great photos, Cindy!” I appreciate your endurance of oxygen deprivation to do all that work for me, but remember that you also left behind its carbon monoxide variant.
Very true & so kind of you! Thank you & cheers too~
Ever so fatastic pictures, Cindy: thanks for sharing!
Have a wonderful week,
Pit
The same to you my friend and thank you very much!
This is CA, right? Gorgeous shots. So peaceful in light of the storm Irma hitting Florida right now.
Yes, I felt we needed to get above the clouds of Irma and see some peaceful scenes for a change. The next few days will be scary~
Peaceful is good! 🙂 Gorgeous sunsets and views, Cindy. <3
Grazie & we need peaceful!
Very much so!
<3
Incredibly beautiful.
Hugs to you dear friend~
What gorgeous photos! Peaceful just to look at them. 🙂
I am so glad and all the best to you Lynette!
Such lovely shots, Cindy! I need a writer’s retreat high above the clouds!!
You do, and because they are ‘far from the madding crowds,’ they are very affordable.
Fantastic shots! Nature is a beautiful thing. )
She is the most beautiful artist of all!
Gorgeous photos, Cindy, they do give a sense of peace.

I am so glad. Cheers to you my friend~
Cheers Cindy.

I lived in CA for 25 years in the LA area and never got down to see that! I sure did miss something special. Or you just make it look awe inspiring. I would feel quite peaceful there myself. Right now I’m keeping good thoughts for those in harms way. Being above the clouds seems just about right at this moment. Have a wonderfilled week ahead.
The thing I notice is that there is incredible beauty even in the most ordinary of places. I love it on the mountain, the only problem is there aren’t as many critters as at The Holler! Be well my friend~
I keep looking at these photos, wishing I was or will be there some day. Thank you for sharing them.
Oh, what a lovely thought and comment. Thank you!
Yes, peace and beauty and prayers to all those in Florida or who have left. Many are our blogging pals.
Thank you for this post, Cindy!
And there is another storm coming. And yes, I am worrying about our friends~
Me too!!!!!
Breathtaking pics and apt description for each pic!!! I loved ‘and peace’ and ‘and above it all’!!! Thanks for sharing!! And stay safe from Irma!!!
Thank you more for appreciating and be well Sifar~
Happy Sunday Cindy! Have a super week! Hugz Lisa and Lucy Goosey
Give Lucy a kiss for me. She’s such a beauty!
I sure will
Your usual well composed shots. How refreshing to see nature in all its beauty!
Thank you Diana. We need the beauty of nature these days!
Beautiful, Cindy. I love the clouds lying among the mountains. <3
Especially when you are looking down on them in the sunshine! So happy you enjoyed & cheers to you~
Fantastic photographs.
Honored & humbled~
Gorgeous scenery and ever so peaceful.
Peace is what we all need & thank you!
Yes, it is. 🙂
Incredibly beautiful images and prayer too Cindy! Where was the first image taken and the lake meadow?
Much appreciated Brad, The photos were all taken in Palomar Mountain State Park which is close to The Holler in California.
Thanks Cindy. It looks like a beautiful place to visit, live, photograph or just chill. 🙂
Gosh that first photo took my breath away! Lovely post!
So happy you enjoyed and thank you for telling me!
Wow! Those magnificent clouds! Not likely to be seen like that here in pancake-flat Illinois! 🙂
All my family comes from Chicago. I am the only member of my generation born in California. I have only been to Illinois once which I need to rectify~
Stunning!
Grazie mille!
I grew up above the clouds and remember it well. Nature at it’s best. Great photography my friend.
How wonderful! This was in Switzerland or Austria?
The Alps in Austria (Suedtirol)
The pictures are good
Thank you!
Wonderful to see such peace, and also harmless clouds too, after all the images of Irma barreling across the ocean to wreak havoc on landfall…
Thank you Valerie and yes, we needed some counterbalancing peaceful cloud images!
Beautiful!💕
Merci beaucoup~
Beautiful photos, Cindy. We are thinking of our friends in America. x
Very kind of you and much appreciated too! <3

Much appreciated & cheers to you!
Dear Cindy, is it possible to stay at your place? Maybe you you can stay at our place in Carinthia, Austria.
Oh, how wonderful that would be! I have never thought of this and would need to discuss with my husband but it sounds intriguing!
What lovely place and well caught and not a broomstick in sight. 😀
I tend to hide it for photos…….
You have such a gift of finding paradise, Cindy!
Thank you. It helps keep my head happy~
Beautiful pictures, Cindy.
So happy you enjoyed them!
The clouds settled above the mountains are breath taking.☺
Thank and we do live in a beautiful world~
The opening and last lines are perfect!
How thoughtful of you to notice and comment!
Did you find my email?
No please resend. I like the idea a lot.
Ok. Thanks.
PS: I resent a few minutes ago.
Will look for it, thank you~
Got your email … tried your reply suggestion.
The clouds come, the rain falls, the water gathers and finds its rightful place. It’s a perfect system. Why did we, do we, mess with it?
I have no idea why we so willingly destroy nature’s beauty. It is a terrible testament to human beings~
🙁
