Monochrome Monday — my beloved mountains
I go to the mountains because they call my name. These are my beloved mountains, my beloved British Columbia.
Had my son not moved west, I most likely would not have had an opportunity to visit this part of Canada. I live in Southern Ontario and although we have beautiful lakes and forests and historical escarpments, there is nothing like the west coast mountains. Nothing.
I chose some of my Tantalus Range photos for the monochromatic challenge today. This range is part of the Coast Mountain in Canada and the Pacific Range in the United States.

Thanks to @old-guy-photos
for initiating #monochromemonday photo challenge.
that first photo with the pines in sharp relief against the misty rolling hills was beautiful and the rest of the shoot was haunting
Yes, the first one is my favorite too...thanks!
The views were nice and the taking was perfect
Thank you so much. :)

wow! great pics!
looks amazing... :)
I'm glad you like them...thanks for saying so :)
There is such a sense of mystery to all these shots. The first one is my favorite with the row of pines, and then the seemingly endless rows of mountains in the mist! I have never visited BC, but would love to some day. We are hoping to take a cruise to Alaska next year, so may start out from Canada rather than from the US.
The first one is my favorite too - it's how I remember BC in the winter....sigh. I miss it. Very much. An Alaska cruise? Oh....I heard those are beautiful!!! If you can, visit BC and drive up to Whistler - it's about 1.5 hours from Vancouver....the mountains are amazing along the Sea to Sky Highway.
Thanks for your comments @dmcamera!
You are welcome, and thanks for that travel tip.
Oh I love those pines! They are exactly just like how Bob Ross used to paint them. Thanks so much for sharing to #MonochromeMonday
Bob Ross??? lol....I used to watch him all the time. He had the creepiest voice, I thought but was such a good teacher.

I love getting double messages. I just left a trail of them all over Steemit .....l0l

I'm lucky to live in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Just something about being in the mountains completes me. These are lovely photos! :)
Thank you @tinajordan. There is something calming about the mountains, I totally understand what you mean about completeness. My son gave me a sign to hang in my guest room - The mountains are calling and I must go.
