Catalina Mountains Under the Clouds

Tucson is surrounded by five mountain ranges, and generally has sunny blue skies, with maybe a cloud here and there but not often. We have had a few overcast days which I think make the scenery more interesting.

A wonderful landscape image

[Beryl Lloyd]

Stunning b/w landscape - So much to see in tones, shapes and textures! Love how the softness of the clouds contrast to the rough and rugged mountains and then the fuzzy bushes! So much to see and notice in the b/w- fav

[Mark]

Very nice and very dramatic in b&w.

[gloria jones]

Love the rugged textures, tones

[Milanie]

The clouds are good with this in b&w

[LManning (Laura)]

So much depth and so many layers. It’s really wonderful on black.

[Kathy]

Rugged layers of rock and vegetation

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It definitely adds drama to the sky and the mountains with so much texture showing through really stand out.

[Rick]

Great capture. Does very well in the b&w.

[Delwyn Barnett]

I agree, that a bit of weather makes for more drama generally.

[Diana]

Beautifully captured.

This one is rather ominous in b&w

I do like Tuscany and would love to go back some day. Love here how the rough edges of the mountains are framed by soft clouds and bushes top and bottom. Works so well. You couldn't do that on a hot blue sky day.

[Taffy]

@helenhall I also love Tuscany, but this happens to be Tucson Arizona. I'll be in Tuscany in a few weeks and am hoping for some good photo ops while there! Thanks, as always for your visits and thoughtful comments on my photos.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot

[Louise & Ken]

Lovely to see that beautiful mountain range! That was home during my jr hi - High school years and our girls went to the U of A...Beautiful country...maybe especially in the winter months!

[Pam]

One of my favorite mountain ranges. You captured it perfectly!

[borof]

B&W goes well with cloudy days.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Nicely captured. The clouds naturally darken the sky instead of using a polarizing filter.

[Helen Jane]

@taffy my mistake. I should have been able to work that out from the scene - even if I wasn't reading accurately! Anyway - I will look forward to your images from Tuscany very much, when you get there.
