About	Thunder's daughter decided it was time she went to visit another family of people far away to the south. She was hopeful she could find a man to marry from that village on the other side of the mountains. She had her wish come true. She met her man and soon a baby boy was born. One day later on, when the rain took a rest from its long-distance marathon, she had an important errand to attend to on the lower slopes of the nearby mountain. She needed to collect cedar branches and roots for a few new burden baskets. Not many suns later the mother returned from her gathering of cedar branches and roots, and heard from her husband what had happened. He tried to assure her that his mother did everything she possibly could to save the boy, but none of the remedies she tried helped. When the wife heard her husband's story, she felt the claw marks of grief scrape down her throat like a black bear ripping off the flesh of a young sapling. She looked as if the sky was collapsing on her shoulders, thus she turned to song rather than see herself break down to salt. "Oh, my people, oh, my people, you took the sun from my life, why do you throw me to the dark?" The Death of Thunder's Grandchild by Duane Niatum

What the eye sees, the soul embellishes. And as aa result we are sometimes given a gift..... such as this image.

A little bit further west... past the lakes... and the home of soie... nearer to aosta... a road that I dive from time to time...

Thank you!

I dramatized the mountain a little more but it may be over the top.

ciao In Transit
The top of the mountain which goes out dale clouds is terrifying, seems to be a heaven in earth it and the "tongue" which comes towards me is unbelievable.
Excellent colours, best regards
