Dark hazy clouds contrast with the mountains, glowing with dawn's light. Trees and buildings in the foreground help to highlight the mountains eveb more
Heavy clouds contrast and highlight the mountains, glowing from the morning light of the sun.
Dark clouds at the top of the picture accentuate lighter clouds, and below them the snow covered mountains stand in relief. Getting more green in the foreground but spring has still not fully sprung here and there is still snow on the ground and brown patches of vegetation
Windfall mtg card from Urza's block, the 1998 champioms foil. As opposed to the new red instant everyone in the comments is referencing.
Low hazy clouds hug the snow covered mountains. The snowy peaks are highlighted by the sunrise. Greenup still hasnt happened so the trees are a mixture of brown and evergreen in the foreground. The hill closer than the mountains is easy to spot, as it isnt covered in snow.

Variant of the keep calm and carry on meme, instead its "I cant keep calm, they Killed Fritz!" from Ralph Bakshi's animated movie Wizards.
Hazy smog clouds and ice fog glint of gold by reflecting the light from the sunrise. A bus can be see approaching a roundavout and several other cars are headed up the hill. The ice fog casts distortions across the trees on the left of the pic.
Heavy gray clouds dominate the sky with somber tones. In contrast, the waning sunlight highlights the mountains in the middle. Low clouds can be seen around the base of the mountain on the right
A molten orange sunrise over the mountains, highlighted with pastel orange and pink hues reflected off of the clouds above. Some of the clouds are dark enough to contrast a darker color compared to the lighter clouds. The effect of the sunrise completely blacks out a portion of the foreground, with only the mountains in the relief. Needed this view this morning
Heavy gray clouds smother the mountains, that are barely backlit by the sunrise. A vast swath of snow covered forest can be seen in the foreground.
A picture of a nearly full moon in the clear blue skys. Snow covered trees and a half wall are visible at the bottom of the pic.

Clouds over the mountains with snow covered trees in the foreground
The sun shining through the clouds, illuminating the mountains. Contrasting with the sky, the foreground is darkened snow covered land. I really like the colors of the sun in the sky on this one.
The sun setting is a molten ball of fire dominating the sky. The halo of a sundog can be seem on the left, just below a small plane in the sky. Mountains are barely visible in a haze near the sundog. Sparse trees and snow covered fields dominate the foreground, with small hills to the right of the sun.
Heavy clouds over the mountains, with hazy layers of clouds around the mountain base. The noon sun can be seen shining bright through the top layer of clouds. Snow covered trees and sparse buildings can be seen in the foreground
Ice fog blankets the valley, with the mountaina barely visible with the hazy sky clear od all clouds. Its currently -40F
UAF temperature sign incorrectly showing -203F when the temp was -40F. A police officer saying "In negative 40"... is in ths shot
The low glowing molten orb that is the sun clings to the horizon. Scant trees and snowdrifts are highlighted by the last of day's light. High, thin clouds in the sky provide a minor contrast to the pale sky. The smallest cabin you have ever seen is partially visible on the right side of the pic.
The sun at noon on December 22nd. A molten ball of fire bleeds through the clouds,obscuring the mountains. Snow covered forest in the foreground provide a contrast with the clouds above
Orange hazy skies over snowy landscape. Minor clouds near the horizon, with a strange trail of cloud vapor zig zagging above like it was pulled by something.
Molten orange sunrise partially obscured by the mountains. High clouds frame the top of the picture, with small exhaust plumes from the buildings can be seen at the bottom of the pic
Hazy, cloudy dawn light filtering over the mountains. Glare halo in the center of the pic adds a purplish visual artifact in line with the central peak. Buildings to the left and right jave exhaust plumes that taper off quickly, indicating how cold it is outside.
A hazy orange glow from dawn backlights the mountains. The skies are clear with only the slightest hint of clouds around the mountain peaks. In the foreground, exhaust can be seen billowing from a building in the center. Other building lights can also be seen. Its -22F today, and while that was the norm a decade ago, its super cold compared to the 26F above it was last week.
Molten aunlight arcs over the upper left of the pic, highlighting the mountains. Hills to the right create a contrasting dakness, hiding the sun. Geist road and its various buildings can be seen between the hills and the field of snow in the foreground. Dont be too harsh with me for the glare from the office window that can be seen lol
Golden sunlight seeps out over the mountains, cordoned off by dark clouds above. Also adding contrast is the dark green anow covered forest in the foreground
Layered clouds with the sunlight bleeding through them highlight the mountain peaks. Forested land in the foreground is covered in snow and a lone water tower can be seen in the middle of the treea.
The light of the rising sun seeps through the clouds. The mountains are barely visible on the right of the pic, blending into the clouds the further left one looks. Forested land in the foreground provides a darker contrast with the higher layer of clouds in the sky and their subtle hued backlight. I am rambling now, need more coffee, especially as the view this morning is full of dark clouds and snow.
A moose, staring at my as I approached work from the lower campus parking lot at UAF. It was maybe 10 feet away from me at the time the picture was taken.
Thick clouds above and forested land below create a corridor of light that is broken only by the mountains. The hues of sunset are pale, especially compared to the darkened clouds above.

Mtg card Cranial Extraction with art by Dave Allsop. Released in 2004 in the Kamigawa set. 3B castong cost Sorcery with the Arcane trait (splice was horribly underrersented as a mechanic) that let you remove all instances of one named card from a player's library, graveyard and hand.
At the apogee of the day, noon time sunlight filters through cloudy skies. The mountains are highlighted in stark relief to the hills and forested land in the foreground. The clouds appear filtered, with the sun shing through. Other clouds near the mountains are more solid looking.
Hazy low fog due to colder temps create a boundary between the mountains and the forested land in the forground. Thin cloudy layers shift from pale hues to dark grey as they approach the mountains. Glare from the sun at the left of the picture creates a similar gradient from left to right. Additionally, it caused a glare streak in the middle of the picture.
Hazy low clouds/fog in the fields between trees, with more haze at the base of the mountains. Soft orange and purple hues from the sunset highlight the peaks, while darker clouds frame the sky above.
Misty low clouds ring the base of the mountains, contrasting with the hills and forested land in the forwground. The clouds get darker and greyer above the mountains.
A purple glow exudes from the UAF AFES greenhouse. Fresh snow on the ground and vehicles in the foreground contrasts sharply with the light.

Hazy blue skies over snow covered mountains. A view to ease the soul, for those that need it.
High clouds with a small break on the top right showing clear sky. Heavier clouds in the center contrast with the mountains, which are still free of snow (for now). The view at work has helped me immensely over the last few years. Hoping it can provide some respite to any who need it as well.
FE3H shipping "shiptember" prompts. Mine is my favorite rarepair and my favorite ship which are one in the same.
Golden sunlight glints off the mountains, contrasting with the dark grey stormclouds above. The land in the forground is filled with green from the trees but also cast in shadow from the clouds. It is a mere blur, but a flying bird can barely be seen in the upper left corner of the photo.
