Mountain Mists

How would you explain this view. Who would believe that the mountain ridges stretched all the way to the horizon? Now imagine them covered in snow...

Taken after a long night over Afghanistan. This early morning shot is actually over Tajikistan. China is in the distance. Uzbekistan is off our left shoulders.

Counter

It's been over 8 years since I first commented on your great image - glad you are still kicking, and I still love this image.

Thought you might like to know that I recently used this photograph/sight to show my 6th grade students what the mountains in the Hindu Kush look like. we have been studying this part of the world in history class. Thank you for providing photos that can be used to increase my students understanding of this world

Stunning . . . one of the best aerial shots I've ever seen. And thanks for doing the job over there.

Don Guo		10-Dec-2004 07:12
absolutely fantastic.. as if you've caught a dream

Guest		28-Oct-2004 16:10
amazing....what a shot.....

Ruth		18-Sep-2004 15:54
This one is absolutely breathtaking and being a writer, words are failing me. I take photos too, mainly scenic, wildlife and at one time weddings. YUCK!! Your caption is true, the earlier you are out in the morning, the more beautiful the photo opportunities. (I have often done this) Just keep on going and send more. We are all getting greedy to see them. Stay safe, you and the other heroes you work with. Ruth

Melanie		15-Sep-2004 16:11
absolutely stunning capture!!!

Guest		04-Sep-2004 06:06
Wow! Very inspirational as well as spiritual.

Kent		18-Jul-2004 17:04
As a amateur photographer, I have a name for photos like this. This one is a God picture. The ability to capture a moment when everything is perfect, from lighting to centered action is indeed a miracle. May the good Lord keep you safe and continue to bless you with unique opportunity to capture God's beauty.

Jessica		18-Jul-2004 04:36
This is a money shot if ever I have seen one. You should copyright this and start selling the rights. This one puts "the angry bluebird" to shame. It explains why anyone still lives in Afghanistan, or anywhere around there. Also, goggle time is great. Thank you, for your art and your service to our country and to freedom around the globe. Keep shooting!

Guest		18-Jun-2004 17:38
Absolutly beautiful. Every image in your gallery evokes a emotion from me that could bring tears at moments. I fully support the military. Good Luck and great photographs.

Guest		06-Jun-2004 13:28
Remarkable shot. Colors, composition...everything. Thank you and all of our men and women for their sacrifice.

Guest		26-May-2004 19:28
WOW WOW WOW WOW !! WOW!!!

Guest		20-May-2004 07:21
Simply stunning!

Guest		19-May-2004 15:19
In the Tour de France bike race they rate the difficulty of the climbs by categories, and a few of the most difficult are rated "beyond category". Well, this image is beyond beautiful. The war plane perfectly set against the incredible landscape is almost surreal. Breath-taking. Gordon

Dan		04-May-2004 23:10
Great shot, I gave this one my vote.

Vivek SenGupta		02-May-2004 14:38
just WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Becky Ramsak		17-Apr-2004 00:56
What a beautiful sight! Thank you and your brothers and sisters in arms for the sacrifices you make each and every day for the benefit of all Americans...you are all heroes. May God Bless America and may He hold each and every one of you in the palm of his hand until your mission is completed.

Guest		04-Apr-2004 19:06
Beautiful shot, almost surreal, keep up the good work. I should have kept my F707. Regards, Kevin

Guest		01-Apr-2004 20:15
Absolutely stunning shot. Thanks for posting it.

I took the same picture 35 years ago in Laos. North Vietnam had the wet monsoon and we were into the smoke season. Clouds in the vallies and peaks, well Peaking, through the clouds. And way off in the distance, the South China Sea. I was a FAC, flying my mighty twin Cessan around the valley. MACH 0.1 ! Thanks for the pictures, and thanks for going there! My son is a Marine, and expects to be in Iraq by Midsummer...

Alex Lau		30-Mar-2004 06:29
Excellent!!! I cannot believe my eyes. What a stunning view!!! I am from Hong Kong. Here are only tall buildings. Feel free to visit my photo album. Cheers, Alex

David Wayne		26-Mar-2004 03:29
I am awestruck, sorry I can't thing of a more original comment, but this is an awesome pic.

Vinay		21-Mar-2004 03:47
Wow. Stunning image

Guest		19-Mar-2004 14:28
Beautiful image, and the silhouette of the jet adds an incongruity that really catches the eye.

Guest		15-Mar-2004 20:53
Nothing else I can add, except, from all things, beauty can be found!

Ralph Vanover		11-Mar-2004 00:39
Awesome image! Thanks for sharing but most of all THANK YOU for your service to our great country. http://www.pbase.com/ralph

Howard Sandler		09-Mar-2004 23:33
Stunning shot.

Strat		04-Mar-2004 18:43
This is pure art! I see it signed. Hopefully this is (or should become) a poster.

Michael		03-Mar-2004 05:39
Beautiful picture. Would it be ok with you if I were to use this image in a project for one of my classes?

Darryl Lloyd		01-Mar-2004 18:41
This is a fantastic image! darryl

Peg C.		29-Feb-2004 12:31
Rob - Gorgeous shot! My hubby (ex-A.F.) said "That's not a picture, that's a painting." What really has us jazzed is we have virtually the same camera (DSC-F717). If only we had your talent! Breathtaking.

Barbara Duran		29-Feb-2004 08:05
Breathtaking! Thank you.

Digital Rebel		28-Feb-2004 10:57

Stunning shot. Thanks.

Jarrett		15-Dec-2003 20:25
amazing.

Guest		14-Dec-2003 17:25
Spectacular image! Great work in capturing the beauty of an area that has been surrounded by the ugliness of repression and war. You had a viewpoint that few in history have ever shared - thank you for sharing that view.

Phyllis Stewart		13-Dec-2003 15:14
A once in a lifetime shot! Words escape me.

Guest		12-Dec-2003 02:32
You really need to put this on a poster, give it away at military retirement. Awesome! Shawn Murphy, MSgt, USAF Optician ps check out www.pephoto.com for incredible 16"X20" poster and best of all under ten bucks! I've used them for some of my nature shots and have been pleased with the results

roberta		22-Nov-2003 05:52
