Beyond the flowering highlands were ranges of mountains that looked like waves.

The range under the sky was a white-blue wave melting into the bright-blue sky. The next mountain range was light blue; the third was blue, then blue-green and green-blue. The range of mountains nearer was bright green with forest. The nearest mountains showed each tree. Blue rainbows on earth, he thought. They never disappear.
