Cloudy Mountains

Today we had some unusual weather for Utah Valley. It was a little bit colder and definitely overcast. I loved it. I liked the way that the low clouds were hanging around the mountains so much that I decided to take a few pictures. I guess they don't really do justice to the fantastic feeling of having clouds on the mountain, but here they are:

Someday I'll figure out how to upload them so that it doesn't make them square and mess up all of that stuff...but not right now.

I've liked cloudy mountains for a long time. I know for sure that I have liked it at least since I first watched "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon." I couldn't find a picture of the setting that they had in the film, but it was an awesome looking place. A monastery in the mountain above the clouds. The legend that they talked about in the movie was that if you jumped into the clouds you would be granted a wish. Maybe that is the reason I have the romanticized thoughts of the clouds in the mountains.

It also makes the mountains feel very infinite and supreme.

Giving it Another Go

Alright, I'll openly admit that I have not been very diligent about posting on this here blog. I have been very remiss in my duties. I'm sorry.

The corner has been getting very dusty, indeed.

I'm setting a goal to post more often, although I won't make a guarantee about the regularity of the posts.

By way of update on my current situation:

I am continuing my studies at BYU. I'm much more focussed towards my major and minor and I hope to be able to finish my studies and graduate in about a year and a half, but that could be a little idealistic of me. I still work at BYU Broadcasting, but I have moved from my position in TV programming to a place as a radio producer for BYU Radio. I'll be posting links to my pieces after they air. I hope that this will be a good way to get some content on my blog, while simultaneously promoting BYU Radio. I may end up shamelessly advertising for the Morning Show with Marcus Smith on this blog.

Most of my time is spent in school or at work. Other than that I still have my various interests, which will hopefully also find some space on the blog.

My goal is to show less fear at posting shorter, but more frequent posts. Length has been my intimidating foe. But no longer! We'll see if this resolve can last out the week.

-Sincerely, Me ;)
