Under the Big Mountain, Golden Meadow and Cabins

A tall field of golden autumn grass fills the lower half of the image. Beyond it, small wooden cabins sit in front of a dark evergreen forest, and a steep rocky mountain with a pale scree slope rises above under a cloudy sky.

A tall landscape where warm gold grass fills the foreground and a cool blue-grey mountain stands over a few small wooden cabins. The cabins make the mountain feel enormous. Someone who wants a mountain picture that is warm and has real scale, not a generic scenic, will stop at the contrast between the glowing meadow and the cold rock. It also gives a narrow, tall wall something to fill.
