Red Ridge, Trail Ridge Road
Late fall color on a prominent ridge as Fall River Road approaches the visitor's center in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Deserted Barn
A small deserted shack along a trail in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Out of The Dark
So this is a heavy crop form one of the other pictures from this trip. I liked the way this looked reformatted to remove what was a relatively uninteresting horizon and sky. The black and white conversion added to the feel.
Parting Shot
A final view of the dune field in the morning sun, before we drove away.
Golden Light
The light was ever changing on the drive home on highway 285. I zeroed in on this grove with the telephoto.
Last Sun
caught the last of the sun's rays on a hillside and cloudbank as we drove over Trail Ridge Road in the park on our way to Grand Lake for dinner.
Fall Sunset
Heading West on Highway 34, a sunset backdrops the front range near Greeley.
Independence Pass #1
A shot of the mountain vista at Independence pass in Colorado.
Independence Pass Pano
Here is a panorama made from the 3 individual shots of the pass.
Independence Pass #2
Another shot of the mountains at the Independence Pass overlook.
Independence Pass #3
Another of the spectacular views of Independence Pass.
Highest Point
This is the view from the highest I was able to hike up to. After I finally reached the crest, and saw another set of higher dunes in the distance, I collapsed and took this picture sitting on the crest of the dune :-D
Abstract Dunes
After exhausting myself climbing up, I saw this abstract on the way back down.
Morning Walk
I capture my tracks in the dunes.
Edge of the Dunes
A view looking into the dune field in the morning light.
Impending Storm
Weather seems to change quickly out here - this storm convinced us a longer hike out onto the dunes at this time of day was not advisable :) The dramatic clouds made for a nice capture.
Last Light
The sun pops out and catches the dunes for one last moment.
Up Against The Peaks
My telephoto shot exaggerates how close the dunes are to the mountains behind them. The touch of fall color on the side of the mountains was a hint of the fabulous colors we were going to get to see on the drive home!
September Color Show
The wonderful September sun brings out the wonderful color of the trees against a beautiful blue sky.
Aspen Grove
On the drive back on Highway 285, we came around a bend, and caught sight of a whole grove of golden trees.
Fall color
The aspens take on some spectacular colors in this close up shot of a hillside just outside of the deserted town of Como, Colorado.
