Vertical.

+100

The composition and sense of scale, the viewpointcontext (being able to imagine how and why i'd be standing there as a viewer), it all works splendidly in the vertical. I have absolutely no idea what is being conveyed by the other image.

Personally I prefer the vertical both in composition and its ability to convey scale of subject matter.

To me the vertical feels uncomfortably cramped and a bit postcard like while the second reveals the size of the space.Of course, I may change my mind tomorrow. :)

Yes, it's the same image. I'm surprised no one pointed out the darker tip of the trees. Always pays dividends to take a second look later on I feel like.

Funny! It's probably a D810.

What I was suggesting but not clearly stating for fear of crop police was to crop a little from the sky (as in the second image) while keeping the foreground intact (as in the first image). It might be better balanced with more focus on the lower half which I think is more appealing.
