Sea of Clouds

I took this shot on the way to the tea fields of Munnar, India. On the side of the road that climbed over the mountain to get there, there was this amazing view of the valley below. I included the hill to the right as a reference for the scale of the shot.
The contrasting colors of the hills and the clouds makes this almost look like the ocean and waves rolling in. Overall the low light from the setting sun and the muted colors makes this a very calming image.
