Idyll
by morpheus71
“An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture, whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist, however, is one who sees the light and the shadows, but in addition sees something else: the possibility of changing the picture, of making the lights prevail over the shadows. “
(Felix Adler)

I always like when the sun and clouds paint the landscape with shadow and light like this.
Want a different scene? Just wait a few minutes.
Viewed large, there is amazing depth here.
