Thanks for the comments Frank. It takes me about 30 minutes to get from my front door to these spots. For the second image, I was at home and saw the clouds just hanging on the mountain top, from the other side actually. So I just grabbed my gear, got in my car and drove up. Everything cooperated. I used the red filter in SilverEffex Pro to get the sky to turn dark. The sky was a really deep blue. I like the effect.
