Back

A view looking north at the summit of Sierra Blanca 30 miles away.

The summit of bare rock looks unimpressive compared to the line of convergence zone clouds to the right (east of the peak).

This convergence zone is wetter air trying to push west, while drier air from the west is pushing east. It's a tug of war that is currently stalled/static, but the warmth of the sun is adding convective activity and giving the clouds a complex texture.

The convergence zone clouds, 30 miles away look fairly white, but in the background are clouds much farther away, and they have a pink tint.

Foreground conifers on the rolling terrain are a dark green.
