<bold> homemadewanderlust <bold> I used to stare at
Windows desktop images and wonder if
those mountain scenes ACTUALLY existed.
They do.

The image features a grassy meadow surrounded by the Cirque of the Towers in Wyoming. The forefront features the green meadow dotted by red, purple, and yellow wildflowers. Further back, dark pine trees line the beginning of the mountain features. These trees are met by the steep, shark granite peaks and the light-blue sky above, adorned with cirrus clouds.
