I keep on coming back to this photograph for the past hour or so. The colors are so wonderful and the scene so familiar to me and yet I've never been there. The mountains are huge and yet they look so small against that brilliant blue sky.

The word that lead to this picture, was "banana peel" - and I just had to blog this one ;-) But he also takes us with him on a journey with his pictures, so it's worth taking a look at what he's shared with us, by clicking here and look at a slideshow of all his twelve entries!
