Peak Performance: Layered Blues from Italian Heights

Caught this spectacular layered mountain panorama stretching toward the hazy Italian horizon - nature's own masterclass in atmospheric perspective. The RX100M7 at 148mm really compressed these rolling ridges into dreamy blue gradients, each range getting progressively mistier until they practically dissolve into the sky. That foreground forest adds some much-needed texture to balance all that ethereal distance. Standing here watching civilization spread across the valley floor while multiple mountain ranges stack up like geological pancakes, I'm reminded why Italian Renaissance painters went nuts for atmospheric perspective. Sometimes the best shots happen when you just point the camera at the obvious beauty and let physics do the heavy lifting.
