Put a cabin somewhere in this scene and I'll retire tomorrow, Don!! What a gorgeous scene!! The old western movies were done in areas like this, but they were B&W!

The composition of this one is wonderful. If you had not revealed that the "clouds" are smoke, it could have been mountain mist. From the sky, down the cool green slopes of the forested mountains, to the rushing, rocky river this is picture perfect. Great capture, Don.
