Wanaka skyscape

Apart from the colours, the aerial view I once saw above Lake Wanaka resembles the landscape I sometimes see from my window in the Himalayas: rolling mountain ranges rising out of the mist above a layer of low-hanging clouds.
The aerial view in the photograph is nothing more than ‘a visible mass of condensed water vapour floating in the atmosphere’, according to the definition of the word ‘cloud’ in my Oxford dictionary. But what an astonishing mass they form, these blue layers of condensed water vapour floating in the sky like a landscape!
